Social Sciences with Data Science BSc gives you a comprehensive understanding of a diverse range of social and economic issues, such as inequality, climate change, and migration. It empowers you to address these issues with data-driven insights.
The course combines a solid foundation in the social sciences, especially sociology and economics, with advanced training in data science. It equips you with the skills to analyse and solve real-world problems from multiple perspectives. Your data science training comprises topics such as causal analysis, machine learning, and social network analysis, and tools such as functional programming, web scraping, and data visualisation. However, no prior knowledge of data science or coding is required. We will start from the basics and take you step by step through the training. More generally, we will also teach you how to critically evaluate evidence and how to communicate your ideas and findings to different audiences.
You will be embedded in a very international environment and taught by scholars who are world-leading in their subject areas. The course is offered through the UCL Social Research Institute, which is part of the UCL Institute of Education (IOE). IOE has been ranked Number 1 in the world for Education for the past 12 years (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025).
