Resumo: This research aims to understand if universities are preparing students well enough to cater to companies’ current data science needs, particularly in terms of skills. To do so, the study reviews data science programs in Portuguese business schools and follows a mixed-method approach, by interviewing data science managers, and surveying recent data scientists online. It was concluded that there is room to improve the skillsets of graduates and recommendations are provided to business schools, who can have a strategic role in bridging the skill gap for future graduates, in what is consensually perceived as strategic, fast growing professional occupation.
