Study marketing analytics and data science in Groningen and be trained thoroughly on methods to process and analyze big datasets to track marketing performance and generate customer insights.
In the Marketing Analytics and Data Science (MADS) track, part of the MSc Marketing, you will become an expert on marketing analytics and get a thorough understanding of the impact of digitalization on marketing. You will learn how to use advanced statistical techniques in a responsible way to analyze data, both structured and unstructured. You learn how consumers, firms, and society can benefit from data science, but we also discuss the ethical considerations of working with large amounts of data.
There is room for personal choices too, for example, you can choose electives on topics like digital marketing intelligence, supply chain analytics, and econometric models. Also, we want you to gain hands-on experience, which is why you will be working on an assignment using the latest Google Analytics 4. The programme offers you the potential to explore business ethics, the sustainability of supply chains, and the role of marketing in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
In the Master’s programme in Groningen, you will attend research-driven and fact-based courses about the most recent developments in the area of marketing analytics. To combine the best business practices with academic insights, we use lectures, hands-on tutorials (and assignments), and invite practitioners to give guest lectures.
A lovely conversation with a group of Dutch students in China inspired me to study in the Netherlands. Groningen quickly became my home. I got to know a very different lifestyle, learned to become independent, and most importantly made friends for life from all over the world. I wanted to do something with marketing and data, the study was a perfect fit and the perfect preparation for my current work. The good amount of teamwork alongside the great support from the teachers helped me to prepare for the work I am doing today. The combination of my studies and my job at the University of Groningen helped me to discover the passion I get to follow today. I now have my dream job in Amsterdam where I work as a Marketing Analytics Consultant.
