The MSc in Digital Sociology directly responds to a growing need for graduates to be able to study and analyse a world that continues to undergo rapid digital transformation. Students can specialise via our dedicated Social Data Science pathway, gaining rigorous skills in statistical programming and computational methods.Digital and computational sociology courses will give you a vital theoretical foundation for understanding and analysing how digital technologies and data are shaping our social institutions, social relations, and everyday life. Our courses will enable you to conduct sociological research through new forms of social data, such as social media data and other types of 'digital trace' data that are so central to modern social science data.
