Work-study Master's degree Business Analyst
Digital technology management
The Master's degree in Business Analyst, offered on a work-study programme basis, trains managers specialized in business information systems, capable of bridging the gap between the needs expressed by users and development teams. Graduates of the ICHEC-ECAM Master's degree in Business Analyst will be well prepared to take up a position focused on digital transformation.
ICHEC and ECAM are joining forces to address the shortage of manpower in the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) sector. This shortage has been explicitly expressed by the Belgian business world.
The alternation
The Master's program combines equal parts teaching and paid internships. This method provides a level of skills that is more in tune with the realities of the field.
- The on-the-job training part of the program gives students the opportunity to experiment with the concepts taught in the classroom, and to gain solid initial professional experience.
- The Master's degree offers the opportunity to obtain a level of skills more in line with the reality of the job market and the needs of companies.
Perspectives
Business analysts first work with users to define their expectations of an IT system. They then interact with IT specialists to build and validate the system. Business analysts play a key role in IT development projects, acting as intermediaries between users and IT specialists.
Business analysts are ready to take on a role focused on digital transformation. They will be able to optimize, formalize and automate business processes by activating the most effective digital technologies.
The course offers attractive career prospects in IT professions in all sectors of the economy: industry, public sector, auditing, banking and insurance, marketing, IT, etc.
The program has been audited by Aeqes, and an action plan sets out a framework for improvement.

The advantage of a sandwich course is that you're in class and on placement at the same time: theory is always fresh in your mind and you can apply it directly in the field.
