Data is everywhere and affects every aspect of our lives and our society – from fitness trackers to online shopping to social media. Data is used to understand human behaviour, and to inform policy, journalism and strategy.

This course is for you if you:

  • are a graduate in the social sciences, business or the humanities
  • have an interest in data and data-driven methods
  • plan a career in the field of data science.

Understanding how and why data is used, and the societal and ethical implications of doing so, are at the heart of this MSc. On the course, you’ll explore:

  • modern information and communication technologies 
  • the python programming language
  • probability theory, statistics, linear algebra and calculus
  • machine learning techniques 
  • ethics and interpretability.

You can choose to focus your studies on digital media, or on innovation and policy. 

You’ll learn from experts at the forefront of their fields. Collaboration with our industry partners will give you career development opportunities.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.

When I decided to apply for a Masters, I wanted to study at a university that provided the best of both worlds in data science and development studies...I was drawn to the MSc in Human and Social Data Science as it felt like a good fit.Daijin Jung
