The rapid expansion and increased availability of quantitative data in recent years present policymakers with great challenges and opportunities alike. The vast complexity of digital information at our fingertips can provide us with the means to understand, design, implement, and evaluate effective public policy. However, translating this wealth of information into useful insight requires a deep understanding of cutting-edge data-science methods, rich technical skills, and detailed knowledge of political processes.
The Data Science and Public Policy MSc provides expert insight and training in applied data-science methods and public policy through a combination of core and specialist modules. The programme develops advanced quantitative and analytical skills while exploring how public policy is formed, implemented, and evaluated. Students will gain the technical expertise needed to work with complex datasets alongside a strong understanding of contemporary policy challenges, preparing them for careers in government, public sector organisations, research, consulting, and related fields. Entry requirements reflect the quantitative and analytical focus of the course.
