The specialization in Data Science of the PhD in Management provides students with advanced training and research opportunities, preparing them to conduct interdisciplinary research in Data Science across various fields of application in management such as industry, services and research. 

The Data Science specialization offers students tools to enhance the power of data for transformative impact across industries and businesses. Through a data-driven approach, students conduct innovative research using emergent methodologies and technologies in various areas of Data Science (e.g. Business Analytics, Big Data Analytics, Data Mining, Deep Mining) and Artificial Intelligence (e.g. IoT). 

1. Training and supervision. During the first year of the doctoral program, students will undergo several courses which aim to develop skills and provide them with the knowledge to adequately design and execute a research methodology with a data-driven approach. In the subsequent years, students acquire in-depth knowledge of their specific research subject and develop their PhD dissertation, working closely with their advisors.  
2. Research communication and publication. Students are encouraged to conduct innovative research in various areas of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, present their research at national and international conferences and publish papers in top-tier scientific journals. 
3. Career development. Through deep training, the PhD program also helps students to progress in their academic or professional careers and to access top jobs in private or public organizations.
