关于Trent 特伦特大学的Big Data Analytics M.Sc.

teky2015UID: 3598401

楼主申请了Trent特伦特大学17年的Big Data Analytics M.Sc.  最近收到了AD，在考虑
搜集到的信息限于在官网上，由于这个貌似是新项目刚开设一年，不知道靠不靠谱；学校也是基础类教育比较好，我申请的是研究生专业16个月的项目；不过数据方向我比较喜欢，也是跟我申请的意向最匹配的一个学校；
所以想上来问问，有没有小伙伴比较了解Trent或者这个项目？
先谢谢大家！

Reddit上有个人总结的很好，基本上现在大学新开的big data MSc其实都是“glorified version of R boot camp"。学的其实是皮毛的不得了的东西，我看了下Trent这个项目，和UBC的新开的data science program差不多，就是R+普通regression+SQL入门, 论学到的东西远远不及一个CS二学位。 混个MSc学位出来装逼用还可以但是出来找工作基本不会有雇主考虑

如果是商科背景想学一些analytics的内容，请问前辈有什么加国的项目推荐呢？谢谢！

好像现在不少BA的项目都是类似的设置..

pure business background 想學一點analytics的話, 直接去諗BA便行.

想真的學core的solid training in data science, 請先拿個2nd degree, grad diploma in math/stat/CS 之類打好基礎再說.

不硬性規定要相關STEM背景的data science master都不可能教幾多深入的東西 - 因為學生根本不可能跟得上.
(same logic are very clear for financial engineering which is now a much more traditional field.)

如果是就业导向，学BA就行是吗？还是需要回炉念数学和CS？工作党年纪大伤不起..

再引申下，operation research和BA应该怎么比较呢？对于加拿大哪个更容易找工作呢？

It really depends on what kind of job you are going to look for, and thus it boils down to the question of how good your English is (and how comfortable you feel when working in a Western culture environment)

其實一個technical master能教得有幾深入, 看一看admission requirement on background就知道得八八九九的了.....

P.S. 當然最準是看course outline, syllabus

如果职业目标是BA，schulich的MBAN与和waterloo的MMSc (data analytics concentration)怎么比较呢？谢谢！

1. it really depends on what working experience you have.......and what quantitative coursework you had done before too.
it also really depends on your language, culture, and etc.......

the answer really varies from one to one.

2. given that you have a business bachelor, I bet you know the relationship (and difference) between business statistics / analytics, operation research, decision and management science, operational management and etc......

一些编程基础的training?也担心一年的program学不了什么东西，毕业后求职比较尴尬..
