Alumni Talks "Big Data vs. Data Science"

The exponential growth of the digital world has led to a huge generation of data. Today, any system, device and/or company, whether public or private, continuously collects a large amount of data that must be processed and interpreted to facilitate application and decision-making.

This represents a great challenge for Big Data and Data Science, disciplines based on the study of methods for the efficient storage, processing, management and analysis of large amounts of data.

Big Data Engineer, Big Data Consultant, Data Scientist and Data Analyst are some examples of the professional profiles you can apply for with the two university masters in Big Data (MUBD) and Data Science (MUDS) at La Salle - Ramon Llull University. All profiles have a great future projection in any sector, both nationally and internationally. 

But, what are the differences between Big Data and Data Science? Do they not refer to the same concept? What training do I need and best suits my profile?

In this meeting we will discuss with two alumni of the Big Data (MUBD) and Data Science (MUDS) Masters at La Salle-URL to learn about their experience and ask them any questions you have about this discipline:

• Miguel Ángel Tarrasón, former student of the Master's Degree in Big Data (MUBD)
• Jordi Peralta, former student of the Master's Degree in Data Science (MUDS)
