Students of the MSc Big Data, Marketing & Management and MSc Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics took part in this two-day challenge. They had to develop and present a solution in record time, with the support and supervision of experts from TNP Consultants and lecturers from TBS Education.
CONSOLIDATING OUR STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE
The 5th edition of the Datathon kicked off on March 15 for 48 hours of intense competition!
Students from the MSc Big Data, Marketing & Management and the MSc Artificial Intelligence & Business Analytics and, for the first time, students from the University of Galway, faced off for a new challenge.
They addressed a problem posed by our partner, TNP Consultants, a firm specializing in business consulting, which took on the role of client. The theme of this 2023 edition: fraud in the motor insurance industry.
Each year, the Datathon broadens our students’ horizons by putting them in contact with top firms from the world of Big Data and artificial intelligence, who set them a real-life challenge.
The Datathon is a genuine teaching tool that allows TBS Education’s students to put into practice the theoretical and technical skills they’ve acquired on the course. It also gives them the chance to deal with a complex, real-life situation in deliberately unusual conditions (strict time limits, in closed session) and to test their aptitude for working and problem-solving as a team.
During the Datathon, we expect to see the students behaving professionally and showing their capacity to deepen complex subjects. What’s more, collaborating with TBS Education means we can establish a win-win partnership while working on high value-added topics while making use of each other’s expertise.
Riyad Linoussi, Head Of UX & Innovation – PO, DATA & Transformation
Thanks to their training and to hands-on experience, students graduate from the course with a culture around Big Data and AI that enables them to solve operational problems and also become essential links in their firm’s decision-making chain.
Data has become an indispensable resource for companies and plays a critical role in their development and innovation strategies. The primary mission of our MSc programs is to develop in our students a new data DNA combining marketing, information technologies, statistical analysis and artificial intelligence.

MORE THAN 100 SPECIALIZATION OPTIONS ON OUR GRANDE ECOLE PROGRAM
100% of students on TBS Education’s Master in Management Program obtain a double degree each year.
Double degrees enrich TBS Education students’ skills and expertise in order to fulfil a double demand:
- a demand from companies seeking hybrid profiles: young graduates with multiple skills that are complementary or connected to the original degree and whose commitment and motivation have been confirmed by rigorous selection and a demanding course of study,
- a demand from students who see the options for complementary courses and double degrees as a distinctive criterion in their choice of school.
This means our students have the option of building a bespoke profile and gaining specific skills thanks to our choice of more than 100 double degrees:
- an MSc in their chosen field, to be pursued on one of our campuses in Toulouse, Paris, Barcelona or Casablanca,
- a degree delivered by one of TBS Education’s partner universities / schools in France or overseas,
- a Higher Degree in Accountancy and Management (DSCG, Diplôme Supérieur en Comptabilité et Gestion) in partnership with one of the big names in auditing (EY, KPMG, Mazars and PWC)

Until now, digital transformation has never been so important. More and more companies are seeking to adapt to this digital change, where their transformation is vital to survive in a world that is constantly globalizing. The MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation program is born at the TBS Education campus in Barcelona.
Everything you need to launch your career in digital transformation with the new Master of Science from TBS Education.
According to Kai Bender, market leader for Germany/Austria at global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, in a Harvard Business Review Analytic Services survey says: “The COVID pandemic has greatly boosted transformation projects. When it became impossible to interact with customers analogically, the extension of digital services became a key issue.”
In recent years, digital transformation has become a buzzword among business leaders. According to a Gartner study, “79% of business strategists said they have digitized their businesses to generate new revenue streams.” This evidences the importance of generating new transformation initiatives, which go hand in hand with the digital change needed.
A master’s degree adapted to the Barcelona of today and tomorrow
Today Barcelona is considered a digital hub in southern Europe, largely due to the consolidated system of start-ups and the large number of events that revolve around the digital universe that the city hosts. A good example is the Mobile World Congress, which generates the interest of large corporations from various sectors seeking to open innovation centers of global impact.
Therefore, the MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation is the perfect opportunity to test in a professional way what is happening in the business sector and in turn learn to help companies to create business processes and possible new ways of adapting to technological changes. In addition, there is the opportunity to work on real cases, in collaboration with professional experts in the sector, who will guide in a more accurate way how business innovation is carried out.
The MSc Digital Transformation & Business Innovation program, which is taught on-site and entirely in English at the Barcelona campus of TBS Education, has Roxana Ologeanu-Taddei, professor of information systems management, as program manager.
