Universite libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) with consortium partners (Erasmus+) · Multiple
DEAI is the new Erasmus Mundus Joint Master that succeeds BDMA (Big Data Management and Analytics), run by the same ULB-led consortium and selected for EU funding in 2025. Students spend semester 1 at ULB (Belgium) and semester 2 at UPC Barcelona (Spain), then specialise at TU Wien (Austria), University of Padova (Italy) or Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (France), finishing with an industry or research thesis. It suits computer science graduates aiming for careers in data engineering, big data and AI.
