What do our alumni think?

Albert Pujol

Alumni of the Master's Degree in Big Data and Data Science

This master's degree has been key to achieving my goal of diversifying my career 100%. The experience has been very good, and I would repeat it without hesitation. In addition to gaining a broad overview of Big Data, the relationship with the faculty has been very good. There were professors from different autonomous communities and also from Latin America, which made the teaching more attractive due to these small cultural differences. Everyone was very friendly and willing to help. They all had PhDs, which ensured quality and state-of-the-art teaching. Proof of this is that, after completing the master's degree, I co-founded a company with Professor Arturo Peralta. It is called AI Shepherds, and its vision is to become the friendliest face of artificial intelligence with the greatest impact on society.

"Thanks to the master's degree at VIU, I was able to do an internship at the company where I currently work and where I developed my Master's Thesis. The idea behind the thesis was to develop a proprietary ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) application for gvSIG online. The result was very satisfactory, as I won second prize in the Pedro R. Muro-Medrano awards."

“I am a Product Development Manager at a multinational company in the automotive sector and I have two young daughters, so studying a postgraduate degree was quite a challenge. At VIU, I found a program that met my academic, professional, and family needs.”
