Hi Benjamin,
I too have been curious about the same course. I had shortlisted this course and the MBA in Business Analytics at Carleton. But I have been unable to get more information on the placement and scope or recruiting companies. It is common knowledge that Big Data and Business Analysts is the future. Several universities offer programs in big data and business analytics including SFM but that is too expensive for me.
Also according to me since Halifax is trying to bolster their talent pool it may be easier to get an LMIA due to a weaker pool and also there is NovaScotia PNP.
But it is mere speculation at this point. I hope we can get some stats and details.
Cheers
