Common professional studies lay the foundation on which the specialization is built on.
Choosing a field of specialization
The program is divided into two fields of specialization: Management of Industrial Services and Data Driven Business. Students can freely choose between specializations. A field of specialization is started only if enough students choose the option.
Management of Industrial Services
In today’s business environment services are not limited only to pure service organizations, instead all types of organizations must be able to create a sustainable competitive advantage in order succeed in its business. If the customers’ internal value creating processes are understood a company can develop a total integrated offering which serves their customers’ value creating processes and suits to the competitive situation of most companies today. Companies may still be considering a step to a service focus in their business or they already have an offering comprising services, and in both cases, there is a need for competent developers, who can take the initiative to create new services or develop existing ones further.
Data Driven Business
The amount of data is sky-rocketing but the number individuals, who can interpret the data is growing at a much lower pace. The companies should base their decision making on data instead of a hunch or feeling. Today’s businesses call for professionals who can combine financial data, process data and data external to the company in the development of the competitive advantages. Especially, being able to capture skills in modern analysis methods and tools makes a difference.
Structure of studies
The degree consists of Professional Studies (30 ECTS credits) completed in the autumn and spring semester. The autumn semester is dedicated for Professional Studies and the spring semester is reserved for the Master´s thesis (30 ECTS credits). Support from student’s employer and integration with her/his work contributes to the learning experience.

Metropolia organizes the Master's degree studies and study guidance in such a way that the student can aim to complete the studies in one academic year.
