The rapid rise of AI and big data are reshaping our world. This programme will equip you with cutting edge data science skills that are in demand across a variety of careers in the private, public, and non-profit sectors.

Youll acquire technical skills in applied data science, computation, programming, and quantitative methods, and learn how to use data to answer interesting and important social science questions.

The programme has a strong practical focus. Youll take project-based programming courses specifically designed for students without a formal computing or statistical background. Nevertheless, a typical student will have taken at least two prior courses in quantitative methods or applied statistics at a basic or intermediate level.

Youll master highly demanded programming languages including R and Python, learn how to construct and manipulate large databases, and creatively deploy newly acquired analytical skills on project-based tasks.

You can tailor the programme to suit your specific interests through a wide range of optional choices. A Capstone project gives you the chance to apply your new skills to an original social science problem of your choosing.
