Course Overview

The MSc in Data Science for Politics & Policymaking is designed to meet the growing demand for graduates who can use big data to solve complex political and social problems. Ideally suited to those seeking careers in political campaigns, think tanks, and interest groups associated with shaping public policy and the civil service.

This Masters-level course equips you with the ability to design, commission, and implement projects that capture and analyse large quantities of online data from diverse sources. It combines advanced training in social science research design and policy analysis with classes that enable you to understand the mechanics behind capturing and organising large amounts of data.

The course solves the critical challenge of using big data in the public sphere and the lack of specified research and policy goals by providing you with the know-how via core classes in Research Design, Public Policy and Qualitative Methods. Alongside these classes, you'll receive training that allows you to understand the mechanics behind capturing and organising large amounts of data.
