Course summary
UCL's MSc Data Science and Public Policy, co-taught by UCL Economics and Political Science, will equip a new generation of policymakers to solve the biggest problems in today's society through data science. The rapid expansion and increased availability of quantitative data in recent years provides policymakers with both important opportunities and great challenges. The vast size and complexity of digital information can improve how we understand, design, implement, and evaluate effective public policy. However, translating this wealth of information into useful insight requires a deep understanding of cutting-edge data-science methods, rich technical skills, and detailed knowledge about economic and political processes. The Data Science and Public Policy MSc is defined by two routes: the Economics route and the Political Science route. Youll receive training in applied data-science methods and insight into economic and political processes on both routes via three shared compulsory modules. The Economics route further explores modern quantitative economic analysis, while the Political Science route (see the separate Graduate Prospectus entry) delves deeper into public policy formation and implementation. Each route has its own set of entry requirements to reflect the emphasis of that route . You can apply for a place on either the Economics or Political Science route of this programme.
