It includes theory, research methodology and statistics as well as programming (in Python) and change-making skills.

Features

In the Computational Social Science programme from University of Amsterdam, you will become specialised in sustainable digital interventions for complex societal challenges (e.g. issues regarding digital surveillance and global health).

You will do so through semester-long group projects that combine and apply all the skills and knowledge of the programme, often tackling real problems in consultation with actual clients and societal stakeholders.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The first year consists of two semester-long, 20-week courses of 30 EC each. In these courses, you will work in small groups (4-5 students) on one (or two) overarching project challenges. Thematically, semesters 1 and 2 focus on climate change and digital surveillance, semester 3 on health and mobility, and semester 4 on inequality.

In the second year, semesters 3 and 4 consist of semester-long, 20-week courses of 30 EC as well and are thematically focused on health and mobility and inequality respectively. The second year introduces you to the analytical level of social practices and systems as well as inviting you to turn your attention to the structural level of analysis.
