Course summary

Social Research Methods with Data Science MSc is designed to cover cutting-edge research methods, with a focus on data science, used in collating evidence for the analysis, critique and evaluation of substantive issues in the social sciences, such as social justice, health disparities, migration, crime, gender, political identity. Students in this degree will learn data science in-depth and can choose either this as their speciality or a mixed methods approach to their curriculum, including qualitative methods and evidence synthesis. They are encouraged to apply their understanding of methodology to critique existing research, design their own research, carry out their own analysis and communicate clearly with academic specialists and non-specialists. All students gain hands-on experience in a range of methodologies used to study issues of interest in the real world. This course is aimed at students interested in studying the world around them. It is suitable for those looking to lay the groundwork for further work at PhD level as well as those wishing to seek employment with enhanced knowledge and skills. Applications are invited from anyone with a suitable undergraduate degree in a social science subject or relevant experience in a related field. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
