Dual BSc in Data Analytics and Decision Science Launched to Address Regional Data Talent Shortage
To bridge the critical regional deficit in data analytics talent, Arab Leadership University and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) have introduced a Dual Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics & Decision Science. The undergraduate curriculum combines mathematical statistics, machine learning, data engineering with SQL and Python, and executive decision-making frameworks.
Students work on real-world datasets spanning sovereign trade flows, telecom customer churn, and healthcare outcomes across the Arab region. Through rigorous capstones, students learn to translate complex statistical analyses into clear executive visualizations using Power BI and Tableau.
"Every modern enterprise from Cairo to Riyadh is clamoring for young professionals who can turn data into strategic action," stated the Head of Data Sciences. "Earning dual BSc degrees from ALU and HBKU provides our students with unmatched analytical authority from day one of their professional careers."
Admissions tutors are currently accepting applications from high school graduates and working professionals across all 22 Arab countries.
