Data Oriented Thinking ESSEC-CentraleSupélec
Data Oriented Thinking (DOT) ESSEC-CentraleSupélec is a student-led association between ESSEC Business School and CentraleSupélec – Unversité Paris Saclay. This is the first association of its kind to bridge the two schools. The objective of DOT is to allow students from all backgrounds at ESSEC and CentraleSupélec to gain a thorough understanding of the domain of data and its different applications.
As our world revolves increasingly around data collection, mining, predictions, and interpretations, it is essential for leaders of tomorrow to fully grasp data-oriented thinking. Indeed, outside the context of specific teachings such as the Data Sciences & Business Analytics program, we have seen that this theme is often viewed as a distant subject and reserved for certain fields of study.
ESSEC Paris-Cergy Campus
ESSEC's historic campus is located in the city of Cergy, about 30 km northwest of Paris. The campus covers more than seven hectares and offers modern and spacious facilities. It includes several buildings, a library, a gymnasium inaugurated in 2023, as well as areas for relaxing between classes.
ESSEC Asia-Pacific Campus
ESSEC's Asia-Pacific Campus, which was inaugurated in 2015, is located in Singapore, Asia, a dynamic city-state known for its thriving business environment and multicultural population. The campus is located in the heart of the city, close to major business centers and commercial areas.
A Master in Data Sciences & Business Analytics dedicated campus is available for the DSBA students in Paris. Located at the crossroads of the 14th, 15th and 6th Arrondissement, it will host the first term for M1 students, and the majority of the courses for M2 students. This campus presents an opportunity for DSBA students to have their own locale, and a place where the cohort can work, participate and organize events.
In September 2017, CentraleSupélec opened the doors to its brand new Saclay campus, in Gif-sur-Yvette: 105,000m2 of excellence and innovation comprising 4 buildings, of which two are completely new. Located 25 km south of Paris, it will attract more than 30,000 people, of which 8,000 students and scientific equipment employees from both public and private sectors.
On this campus, we organize cultural, social and even technological activities, such as Gala, Central Business Forum, Centrale 7, etc. for ove 2,000 students from 60 countries. Doing sports and relaxing is also essential for many Centralers’: our campus houses gyms, restaurants, collaborative work spaces, sports rooms and many other facilities.
"The program has the right mix of two aspects between Data Sciences and Busniess Analytics".

You need more information to prepare your application? Please refer to this link for insights on our application portal.
References are very important. The admissions committee is used to looking at these and the ones that make the difference outline concrete examples of how the student lives up to the praise/recommendations given. You should therefore select references who know you best and have experience of working with you either academically or professionally. It is much better to have a reference from someone who knows you than from someone you have selected due to their position.
The GMAT is a very important part of your application. It is mandatory and we encourage you to get ready for the GMAT exam in advance. You should aim for as high a GMAT score as you can possibly achieve.
No, the program is taught in English and all of the staff members speak English. You have the chance to learn French during your program.

Every application is thoroughly reviewed by the admissions board which is composed of both academic and professional staff, with consideration given to all elements including hard and soft skills.
