Description

This course, Post-Graduate Diploma (PGD) in Advanced Business & Economic Research Methods, is a novel, multidisciplinary course
that combines knowledge from several fields of study including philosophy, psychology, economics, statistics, research methods, econometrics,
statistical computing, machine learning, data mining, data science and computational intelligence. Ideally, students need to take the separate courses on each of the above-stated fields of study, which normally takes a much longer time to complete. However, today’s business and
economic challenges are so sophisticated to the extent that they require a multi-disciplinary approach to solve. Therefore, for students/clients
whose job specifications and descriptions require them to have a broad base of knowledge from interdisciplinary fields, the TREMMBiT Consult,
normally, upon discussions with such clients, is able to design novel, innovative courses that are tailored to equip these clients
(students/trainees) with the requisite knowledge base, information, and practical software tools that would make them more effective, efficient
and successful in the workplace.
