Study entirely online without relocating or putting your plans in San José on hold. With a route that can be completed in as little as one year, you can work towards your next qualification while staying connected to the people and commitments that matter to you.

An online format makes it possible to bring what you learn into your professional thinking as you progress. Each step can help you develop a stronger foundation for understanding business data and the possibilities of AI.

Study on a schedule that works for you

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates. That flexibility can make advanced study easier to fit around work, family life and other responsibilities, without asking you to arrange your day around a live class.

Choose when to engage with your studies and make the most of the hours when you can focus. From early mornings in San José to quieter moments at the end of the day, you can build a study routine that suits your life.

Keep learning wherever life takes you

Your studies can continue from anywhere in the world, whether you are at home, travelling or on the move. Your current location can be the starting point for an education that stays with you across borders.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It gives you another way to make useful study time out of a journey, even when a reliable internet connection is not available.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you an opportunity to work with information and demonstrate how you understand and apply what you have learned.

For a subject concerned with analysis and decision-making, being able to consult resources while developing an answer can feel particularly relevant. It encourages you to focus on reasoning, interpretation and clear communication.

Learn from accomplished faculty

Study with tutors and faculty who have graduated from world-renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their educational backgrounds bring a breadth of academic perspectives to your learning experience.

As you engage with new concepts, their guidance can help you question assumptions and develop your own informed point of view. It is an opportunity to grow not only your knowledge, but also the confidence to use it.

Join a learning community that spans the globe

Connect with a diverse student base representing more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different experiences can broaden the way you think about business challenges and the many settings in which analytics and AI may be used.

Alumni work for international organisations including Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony, IBM, Verizon, Dell, the United Nations, the ICRC and The World Bank. Their paths illustrate the breadth of professional worlds represented in the wider learning community.

Plan your payments with flexibility

Investing in further study is a significant decision. The option to pay in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments lets you spread the programme cost over time.

Review the fees as you consider your plans, and choose a payment approach that works for your circumstances. Clear information can help you take your next step with confidence.

Put your learning to work from San José

San José’s technology and business-services sectors offer a compelling setting in which to think about analytics and AI. For graduates working with software teams, service operations or regional business functions, the programme’s concepts may help inform questions about customer needs, processes and decisions supported by data.

Costa Rica’s medical-device and life-sciences industries also create opportunities to think carefully about complex information. Graduates interested in these sectors could draw on analytical methods when considering operational performance, quality-related data or ways to communicate insights to different teams.

In financial services, tourism and other customer-facing industries connected to San José, organisations must interpret changing demand and make thoughtful decisions. The ability to examine data critically and understand potential AI applications can give graduates another perspective on those challenges, whether their ambitions are local or international.
