Santander IE-Digital DNA

Santander IE-Digital DNA

The program:
The importance of digitization is clearly noticeable in all areas and across industries. Commercial enterprises in particular are strongly affected by digitization. Banco Santander, together with the universities IE (Madrid) and MIT (Boston), has developed two programmes to train students in "digital skills" and to prepare them for the new professional scenarios.

Under the first programme "Santander IE-Digital DNA", 100 students can participate in two HIOPs (High Impact Online Programme). The courses will be taught in English and Spanish (50 students each) by lecturers from the IE School of Human Sciences and Technology, a faculty of IE University.

The first course, "New Technologies for Innovation", was devised to gain insight into the impact of digital disruption on businesses, and how companies are creating competitive edge by using these technologies.

The second course, "Data Science and Visualisation for Business", will give students a grounding in data science and practical experience in information and visualisation of data to help them make the best possible business decisions on a daily basis.

The modules take place exclusively online over a period of five weeks, for which the participants have to spend between 6 and 8 hours per week.
