Used effectively, information and data drive good decision making in government, organisations, businesses, and everyday life, and bring new opportunities to solve the big problems our society faces. UCL’s Information, Data and Society BSc will equip you with a solid technical base in data and computing alongside the creativity, critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills of a humanities education. This mix of skills will prepare you to turn data into knowledge and to influence decisions in consultancy, policy, business, technology, journalism, and the cultural sector.

In Year 1 you’ll build a balanced foundation, studying programming, maths, data science and web technologies alongside critical perspectives on how societies use information and data in decision making. In Year 2 you’ll deepen your skills to address complex socio‑technical problems, from data and information management to digital platforms and large‑scale analysis, all with a focus on real‑world scenarios. In Year 3 you’ll focus your studies toward the career path that interests you most, developing your research skills and completing a dissertation that showcases your ability to bridge data, information, and society.
