In the world's global corporate environment, it is highly important to develop an understanding of various international contexts. The Master's degree programme in Project Management and Data Science at HTW Berlin will help you to successfully manage and supervise projects in an international environment as well as facilitate, process, and interpret extensive datasets and carry out analyses across different disciplines.
This specialisation is based on our survey of major industrial companies, which revealed a strong demand for internationally oriented project management specialists and data scientists. During this programme, you will acquire international skills by working together with students of different nationalities and backgrounds. Since the programme is taught entirely in English, you will also be ideally prepared for the international labour market. Language skills in German are not necessary.
During your studies, you will acquire knowledge of business administration within an international context. The curriculum focuses on different areas of project and information management, various data analysis techniques, human resources and marketing. Deep knowledge of statistics is not required.
