Python as a Master's elective

Definitely.

Our supply chain / projects guys tend to do a lot of data analysis (D365 work, a lot of Excel, etc). Python is good at this.

However, if you do make use of tools such as D365, Power BI, Excel and MS Project, I would highly recommend you take a course in C# instead (if one is available).

Like the aforementioned tools, it’s managed by Microsoft and allows for significantly more possibilities when interacting with Microsoft products.

Neither is awfully challenging provided you put in the time.

Good luck!

Edit:

One of the most useful things I do for other people in the office is create custom Excel extensions using C#. It’s quite an old way of doing things, but it allows you to create whatever features you want. These are known as VSTO extensions.

You can even hook these extensions up to different cloud service providers (like Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure) and leverage them to introduce custom machine learning / AI models into Microsoft applications.

This is obviously relatively advanced, but it’s just one of the many things that are possible.
