Inspired by the traditional university model in English speaking countries, the Master of Science, more commonly known as the MSc is a Bac+5 (five years post-secondary school) degree, generally earned in just over a year, intended for those who hold at least a Bachelor’s degree (Bac+3 or three years post secondary). It is renowned for its international aspect and its operational approach, which gives graduates a high degree of employability.
The Masters of Science (or MSc) awarded by IPAG combine the academic and scientific requirements of this degree with the values and aims of the school, based on promoting a management model that is appropriate for a globalised and constantly changing world. They offer both professional and international aspects. Our graduates can therefore become operational in a job and/or specific business sector immediately.
This course is offered in partnership with DataScientist, a hybrid training organisation, and leading Data Science instructor in France.

What is the MSc in Data Management & Business Intelligence (DMBI)?
MSc DATA MANAGEMENT & BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE To find out more
Over the coming years, the exponential increase in the quantity of digital data and their exploitation will be a major source of wealth creation, provided that you have the professional tools and knowledge used by data management and business intelligence experts. In order to train such data analysis experts, IPAG decided to offer a fully online MSc in Data Management & Business Intelligence for the start of the 2021 academic year.
For a company, data management involves transforming available data into strategic assets, through a series of actions: from the gathering of data and its integration in the information and CRM systems to its qualification, structuring, securing and end use. Data management involves much more than simply managing computer data, as its name might suggest.
Generally speaking, a data management project is cross-cutting and multi-disciplinary, and the related challenges must be identified and handled by operational managers with training in business intelligence.
A course in data management will give you an understanding of the principles, practices and techniques involved in data processing. You will learn how to gather data, assess their quality and exploit their potential using relevant analysis tools and methods. This will enable you to support the growth of a company by helping it find new customers and build their loyalty. In addition to the skills that you will develop during the course, the value of your qualification – masters-level, equivalent to level 7 in the French RNCP system in the case of our MSc Data Management & Business Intelligence – will be a major asset for your CV.
The originality of our online MSc lies in its interdisciplinary approach to data management, since this programme produces project managers with a "hybrid" profile (between data engineers and business managers) thanks to shared core classes, specialised classes and personalised paths to develop your interpersonal skills.
Our online MSc has core classes made up of four modules:
Project management
Business Ethics and CSR
Research and dissertation methodology
Strategic Management
The specialised classes, on the other hand, are related to two main themes:
Data Management
Data Scientist
If you wish, you can also develop complementary skills by choosing one or more of these Executive Certificates:
Whatever your career plan (levelling up skills or a change of direction), you will be given a skills assessment that will enable us to adapt your "Soft Skills and job market access path" to your aspirations. Lastly, you will defend your master's dissertation that will be on an operational or academic topic related to your area of specialisation.
How to enrol for our online Masters in Data Management and Business Intelligence?
Our online Masters of Science can be taken in 12 or 24 months, according to your highest qualification level, as well as your learning needs.
If you are a managerial-level employee and have at least 10 years' work experience, you can enrol for our MSc without having the above-mentioned qualifications.
In any case, admissions are based on an application (including a cover letter, proof of identity, a copy of your latest diplomas and academic transcript) and each candidate must pass a half-hour interview with our jury.

You will also be able to gain work experience through an internship or sandwich placement including four days at a company and the equivalent of one day's online learning per week. Lastly, having this masters-level qualification (equivalent to level 7 in the French RNCP system), on your CV will open the doors of many companies to you.
