Throughout the subject, you will deploy and integrate Generative AI models adapted to your applications and projects. You will use their full potential to produce personalized content and learn the art of prompt engineering. You will also transform LLMs with your own data and learn the most advanced techniques to create effective prompts.
The Master aims to provide a solid training in terms of technical knowledge, but also a business vision, so that once the Master is completed, students can act as a bridge between the executive and technical levels of a project. In this way, they will be taught by professionals from leading companies and multinationals, practical and successful cases, seeking to apply concepts acquired in the first two modules. In addition, we have the collaboration of IESE Business School, the Business School of the University of Navarra.
management of projects and business vision (5 ECTS credit)
- Project planning: identification, definition and objectives
- Agile Methodologies
- Privacy and transparency. Ethics of artificial intelligence
- Generative AI projects
- Applications
Workshops with companies (4 ECTS credit)
exhibition of examples and use cases by experts from renowned companies in various sectors. Tools and techniques taught during the program are addressed through real and current projects.
It plays an important role in the program. A practical approach is sought that at the same time provides solutions to real problems and projects proposed by companies with which there are agreements at partnership. It can be co-directed both by these companies and by academics from the University of Navarra, and is an excellent opportunity for students to lead the implementation of projects with an impact on their professional environment.
work End of Master's Degree (18 ECTS credit)
The TFM will consist of an original work in which the competences acquired during the Master's Degree must be put in internship . It can be done in groups and developed in the framework of a business or institution that proposes a project of collection, cleaning, preparation, advanced analytics of data and visualization of the results. It can also be done through a project of entrepreneurship in this field.
Ethical aspects of data processing, as well as the economic and social impact of the results, should be highlighted. The student must demonstrate that they know how to plan a project and carry it out in a real working environment, in such a way that they acquire a very practical experience in the field of Data Science and Big Data.
During the Master's Degree University in Big Data Science you will work with the most demanded technologies and tools nowadays. You will use programming languages and software such as Python, Anaconda, Jupyter, RStudio, SQL, Databricks, Git, PySpark, Scikit Learn, Keras or TensorFlow, as well as the visualization platforms data Tableau or PowerBI. Upon completion, you will be certified as an AWS Cloud Practitioner.
In addition, you will deploy and integrate Generative AI models adapted to your applications and projects. You will use its full potential to produce personalized content and learn about the art of prompt engineering. You will also transform LLMs with your own data and learn the most advanced techniques to create effective prompts .
