Course overview
Social Sciences with Data Science combines systematic and thorough education in the social sciences with advanced training in data science.
Each year, two of the eight modules that you take will be on data science.
No prior knowledge of coding or statistics is needed. We will start from the basics and take you step by step through the data science training.
In all years you can choose optional modules from other social science subjects across UCL, subject to availability.
You may also opt to spend your third year abroad, returning to UCL for your final year of study.
What this course will give you
A multidisciplinary programme that allows you to choose from a wide range of modules across the social sciences and to tailor the programme to your own interests.
You will be trained in specialist skills in data science, which are highly valued and are in short supply among social science graduates. These skills are highly prized in a range of professions including the civil service, academia, journalism, financial analysis and marketing.
