As a student on the BSc Data Science you’ll gain practical skills, theoretical knowledge and contextual information that will be excellent preparation quantitative careers in a range of industries. By the end of the programme BSc Data Science students will:
Gain extensive first-hand experience of carrying out typical workflows of data analytics.
Learn about acquiring, querying and understanding the basic properties of data, analysis, how to extract insights from data and how to report the results.
Be able to use and understand classical and modern data-analytics techniques, statistical machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques.
Be competent in computer programming in data-analytic contexts.
Have a broad range of knowledge useful in data-analytic contexts, for example, topics at an intermediate or advanced level in economics and finance. Depending on your course choices you could also acquire knowledge of advanced topics in mathematics and statistics.
Be able to think in a critical manner.
Be skilled in making formal and informal inferences on the basis of statistical data.
Be able to formulate and develop mathematical arguments in a logical manner.
Be able to understand, formulate and use quantitative models arising in the social sciences.
Be skilled in acquiring new understanding and expertise.
Acquire transferable skills in some or all of: presentations, library and internet research, report writing, information technology (IT) expertise and the use of statistical software.

LSE opened its doors in 1895 with three rooms and 200 students. Today more than 11,000 students study for degrees at our central London campus, while more than 40,000 more learn on campus or remotely.
But while much has changed, one thing remains constant: our commitment to the original vision of LSE, as ‘a community of people and ideas, founded to know the causes of things, for the betterment of society’.
As we look to the future, we do it as an internationally renowned institution, with a reputation for excellence in teaching, research and public engagement in the social sciences.
What happens at the School has the potential to be world-changing – and in these turbulent times, the social sciences are needed more than ever.
As a proud LSE alumna, I am incredibly honoured to have the responsibility of leading the School and helping to shape its future.
I relish the opportunity for LSE to lead by example through the coming years, and to use our unique strengths to actively contribute to positive change in the world.
