Course summary

The MSc Data Science and Economic Policy is designed for students seeking to combine a solid training in the principles of economic policy and an expertise on data science approaches.



Drawing on SOAS’s world-leading applied research on economic policy, the programme allows students to assess economic policies around the world, develop coding skills, apply economic models and understand how data science techniques can guide policy making.



The programme covers major policy challenges, including the climate crisis, structural transformation, macrofinancial stability, poverty, inequality, corruption, as well as labour market and social protection policies. It offers students a unique opportunity to analyse these challenges both from a qualitative and a quantitative perspective and critically assess how data science is shaping economic policies and socio-economic systems in the 21st century.
