Undergraduate Courses

Our Undergraduate Courses are grounded in the belief that data-driven approaches are essential to rigorous social science research. The courses equip students across the School with skills, tools and critical insights to engage with data in meaningful, responsible and impactful ways, so that they can apply data science techniques and insight to their field of research.

As well as confidently harnessing the power of data in academic work, we want our students to develop a critical understanding of the evolving digital world, so that they can interrogate the ethical, political and social dimensions of emerging technologies.

From the 2026/27 academic year:

MY202A – Data Science for Social Scientists
MY105W – Data for Data Science

Please see the LSE Calendar for further information on each module structure and requirements.

Note: these courses were previously categorised under the Data Science Institute, as DS202A and DS105W.
