Key focus areas for the MAAI

Student explaining to other student
Analytics Consulting Project

The Analytics Consulting Project (ACP) gives you the opportunity to work directly with companies to solve real, data-focused business problems.

Offered in the second year of the Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (MAAI) curriculum, this hands-on experience lets you join a team of fellow students and collaborate with a corporate partner to define a problem, analyze real-world datasets, and develop actionable solutions. With guidance from ESMT faculty and industry professionals, you’ll present your findings and recommendations to the company at the end of the project.

MAAI Research Track
Research Track

As an alternative to working in teams with a company on an Analytics Consulting Project, you can also work individually on a research project with an ESMT faculty member. This will involve mostly empirical work, often with large data sets and extensive coding, to answer a practical research question.
