International Applied Data Intelligence

Course Overview

Established as part of the KU Leuven Association, Thomas More constructed this program to address global corporate demand for data-proficient business managers. The curriculum evolved from classic management principles into an integrated analytics framework, combining core economics with applied data intelligence technologies. Key program achievements include high graduate employment rates within international logistics, consultancy, and tech sectors. The practical focus gives students hands-on capabilities in business intelligence tools, programming languages, and operational strategies. International study exchanges and mandatory company internships expand professional networks across European economic hubs.
