Overview
Features
- The DPhil in Social Data Science at the University of Oxford provides an opportunity for students to formulate and address novel research questions at the intersection of the computational and social sciences, supported by the multidisciplinary faculty at the OII, Engineering Science, Statistics, Sociology, Computer Science and other departments across the University of Oxford, as well as by the complementary strengths of the student cohort, who draw upon expertise and experience from across the disciplinary spectrum.
Programme Structure
Research
- Beyond the technical skills, the programme will also provide students with a solid grounding in social science theory and methodology, and reflection on the consequences of the techniques applied.
- Ordinarily, students will be expected to have training similar to that offered within the MSc in Social Data Science, but gaps may be filled with courses from the MSc curriculum as well as other existing courses at the University.
- Over the course of the three to four years, you are expected to produce an important and original piece of scholarship that will make a significant contribution to the dynamic area of Social Data Science. On completion, you will have the qualities and transferable skills necessary to excel in teaching, research, policymaking or business.
