The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) launched its Master in Data Analytics (MDA) program Friday to address the escalating demand for skilled data analysts globally and position AIM at the forefront of Industry 4.0.
Recognizing the critical role of data in an organization, AIM designed a curriculum that equips professionals with the essential tools and knowledge to harness the power of data.
The 18-month, part-time and hybrid program offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing working professionals to seamlessly integrate their graduate studies with their careers.
The Analytics Association of the Philippines (AAP) estimates that by 2028, the country will need 500,000 analytics professionals. This figure, however, only considers the IT industry. AIM aims to fill the demand in other industries such as marketing, sales, media, public relations, human resources and government.
“The business landscape is rapidly evolving. Leaders who can harness the power of data and AI will undoubtedly shape the future”, said Prof. Corinne Burgos, academic program director of the Master in Data Analytics at AIM.
The program will provide students with a deep understanding of data collection, analysis, interpretation and visualization. Graduates will be empowered to extract actionable insights, make data-driven decisions, and contribute significantly to their organizations’ growth and competitiveness.
AIM said the program delivers a curriculum that blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
“Students will have the opportunity to work on real-world projects and gain exposure to best practices in various industries,” AIM said.
“This is not merely obtaining a degree but a strategic investment,” said Burgos.
