Summary
The Sociology and Data Science MSc combines advanced sociological training with rigorous data science skills to equip you with the tools to analyse and interpret complex social data. Through a curriculum that integrates sociological theory with cutting-edge data science techniques, you will explore pressing social issues using computational methods, quantitative analysis, and statistical software. Topics that may be covered include social inequalities, digital and global transformations, social mobility, and the role of data science in driving evidence-based policy. It can be studied on campus or online, giving you the flexibility to engage with the programme from anywhere in the world. Modular (flexible) students - Some postgraduate taught and MRes programmes are available on a modular basis. Modular study lasts between 2 and 5 years. This is different to a part-time study which lasts for a fixed period.
