Description
‘Big data’ is the term used to describe truly massive data sets – the ones that are so big and unwieldy that they require specialised software and massive computers to process. Companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook and YouTube generate and collect so much data every day that they have entire warehouses full of hard drives to store it all. Understanding how it works and how to think about data on this scale provides some valuable lessons for all analysts.
Driven by the need to better connect with citizens and customers and the emergence of Big Data, governments and enterprises are embarking on Business Analytics and Big Data Analytics to derive citizen and customer insights, make fact-based decisions and achieve competitive advantages. Being a Big Data & Analytics (BDA) student gives you the competitive edge to harness the real power of data analytics and turn you into the go-to person organisations consult to unlock their true potential. You can look forward to an interesting curriculum that covers broad-based topics including: data science, data analysis, data visualisation and storytelling, big data programming and machine learning.

Student, IIHT Career
When I started this Data Analytics program at IIHT, I wasn’t well equipped with a statistical background. In a couple of months’ time, I gained industry-level data analytics knowledge which landed me on a job way before graduation. It is hard work, there is no putting it lightly. However, it might be the best investment I’ve done for my career. Now, I’m working as a Senior Data Scientist for one of the hottest fintech companies in the Nigeria.
Paul Ossai
Student, IIHT Career
I chose the Big Data Analytics program at IIHT because I believe that data science can help to match the energy production and consumption by predicting consumer behaviors for example. Also, the means of production are becoming more and more decentralized, which requires an advanced way of electricity grid management and data science can help with this task.
