The MSc Data Science is designed for students seeking to develop the expertise required to analyse economic, political, social and developmental processes using data science approaches.
Drawing on SOAS’s world-leading research, the curriculum is shaped by a Global South perspective, emphasising context-sensitive data practices grounded in diverse epistemologies, ethical approaches and developmental priorities.
Through hands-on training with real-world datasets and applications, students develop skills that allow them to apply machine learning and other data science methods and to critically evaluate the role of data science approaches in analysing and addressing socio-economic challenges and shaping power relations.
We will consider all applications with 2:2 (or international equivalent) or higher in any discipline that does not incorporate a strong data science component. In addition to degree classification, we take into account other elements of the application such as your supporting statement. References are optional but can help build a stronger application if you fall below the 2:2 requirement or have non-traditional qualifications.
