Course content
You will benefit from a sociologically informed understanding of data-centric systems, which are integral to the majority of industries today, as well as the focus of governmental and non-governmental bodies.
We believe that an interdisciplinary and critical approach to data and computational systems and their ethical use is a requirement for roles within tech companies, government bodies, thinktanks and non-governmental organisations alike.
This degree is ideal if you are an independent thinker who wants to work in industry or government.
An interest in data, emerging technologies and their implications for policy and society will be helpful as cutting-edge theoretical insights, research methods and ethics combine to establish the programme.
You can undertake projects that explicitly develop research undertaken on social and computer science undergraduate programmes. Accordingly, you might have a background in sociology and social policy, politics, computer science or human-computer interaction. Equally, you may already be working in industry or government in a data-focused role.
