Data Skills Increasingly Sought After by Companies, Studying in UNM's Data Science Programme Is the Way Forward

Data has become one of the most important assets in determining business strategy. Amid increasingly rapid digital transformation, the need for professionals capable of processing, analysing, and translating data into strategic information continues to grow.

This opportunity is the reason Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM) has introduced a Data Science Study Programme aimed at building competence in the field. The programme is available through regular classes and employee classes at UNM’s Margonda campus in Depok.

The UNM Data Science Study Programme has also achieved ‘Unggul’ (Excellent) accreditation, serving as recognition of the quality of education provided while strengthening the choice for prospective students wishing to pursue the field of data and technology.

Andry Maulana, Head of UNM’s Margonda campus, said that choosing a study programme needs to consider long-term competency needs, not just follow job trends.

“Data has become an important part of almost every industrial sector. The Data Science Study Programme can be a choice for the younger generation who want to build competence with broad career prospects. Moreover, UNM’s Data Science Study Programme has achieved ‘Unggul’ accreditation, so students have an educational environment that supports their career preparation,” he explained in a release received on Friday (28/8/2026).

The need for data talent does not only come from technology companies. Various other industrial sectors also require data analysis skills to understand consumer behaviour, identify opportunities, formulate strategies, and support decision-making.

“UNM’s Margonda campus also provides flexibility for prospective students through regular classes and employee classes. These options allow high school/vocational school graduates as well as Gen Z workers to adjust their study time to their respective activities,” he said.

Andry also explained that, in terms of cost, UNM offers a tuition fee scheme that can be paid in monthly instalments with the benefit of no building fee. This scheme is designed to help prospective students plan their education in a more measured way.

“The opportunity to build a career in the data field should start with quality yet affordable education. We want prospective students to have the option to continue pursuing education without having to neglect their financial condition or work activities,” said Andry.

As a Digital Business Campus, UNM continues to promote education that is aligned with technological developments and industry needs. The Data Science Study Programme is one of the choices for the younger generation who want to develop skills in data analytics, technology, and digital business.

For high school/vocational school graduates and young workers who want to prepare competencies to enter the data-based professional world, the Data Science Study Programme at UNM’s Margonda Campus can be a choice to start the journey towards a future career.
