Social and Economic Data Science (SEDS - Master of Science)

About

The Master's programme in Social and Economic Data ScienceÂ (SEDS) offers students from different academic backgrounds the opportunity to specialise in the collection, processing and analysis of quantitative social and economic data. Today's information society is characterised by an ever-growing abundance of data from sources as diverse as administrative records, surveys or network logs. Yet, such data merely provide the "raw material of knowledge", and it takes well-trained analysts to detect meaningful structure, and to extract relevant information from these sources. The SEDSÂ programme is tailored to meet these requirements. It brings together expertise from various academic disciplines such as econometrics, statistics, and computer science. The programme thus has a broader theoretical and methodological scope than specific Master's programmes in statistics or survey methods. The departments involved are as follows: Department of Economics Department of Politics and Public Administration Department of Computer and Information Science Department of History and Sociology Department of Mathematics and Statistics Department of Psychology
