Overview

Social Sciences with Data Science at UCL gives you a comprehensive understanding of a diverse range of social and economic issues, empowering you to address them with data-driven insights. The programme combines a solid foundation in social sciences with advanced training in data science, equipping you with the skills to analyse and solve real-world problems from multiple perspectives.

You will be embedded in a very international environment and taught by staff who are world-leading in their research and scholarship. IOE, UCL's Faculty of Education and Society, has been ranked Number 1 in the world for Education for the past eleven years (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024).

Employability

A degree combining social science with data science gives you excellent employment prospects, as graduates with strong data science skills and a broad social scientific background are in short supply though much-needed in a variety of sectors.

Graduates with such profiles are especially sought after in government organizations, research institutes, non-profit organizations, consultancy, journalism, financial institutions, and marketing. However, with their broad training and versatile skillset, our graduates are also popular among a wide range of other employers.
