Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real Work

Success in analytics and AI isn’t about memorising formulas—it’s about asking better questions, locating relevant information, and synthesising insights to make sound decisions. That’s why the programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question/answer exams.

These assessments mirror the realities of the modern workplace, where the value you bring is measured by judgement, analysis, and impact. You’ll learn to structure arguments, justify recommendations, and deliver outcomes—skills that translate directly to leadership in data-driven organisations.

Their academic depth and real-world experience enrich every module.

This diversity of expertise ensures you gain more than knowledge—you gain perspective. Faculty bring global case studies, nuanced viewpoints, and practical insights that help you connect theory to application in meaningful, career-relevant ways.
