Social Data Science (Q-Step)

The Social Data Science (Q-Step) programmes at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº are interdisciplinary, providing social science undergraduates with state of the art training in social data science, through courses in quantitative research methods, data analysis and visualization.  Students join the Social Data Science (Q-Step) programmes in Geography, Political Science, Population Health Sciences and Social Sciences.

Other undergraduate modules

Outside of the Social Data Science (Q-Step) Programme, SODA organises two innovative undergraduate modules that are available to students across ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº’s Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences. One is an introductory module designed to introduce data science to students who have little or no background in mathematics or statistics. The other is an advanced module using python to explore techniques of machine learning.

These will be advertised to students by departments. The selection may change each year; below we offer a selection of the courses that we have offered recently.
