Computational Policy Modelling MSc
MSc in Computational Policy Modelling
From September 2015 the University of Surrey, UK will be running a new taught post-graduate programme in Computational Policy Modelling.
The syllabus combines qualitative, quantitative and computational social science methodologies with policy analysis, allowing students to develop fully integrated knowledge and skills to tackle complex social phenomena and problems in creative and application focussed way. The course is designed to engage students from a variety of disciplinary and professional backgrounds; no previous programming or social science skills are necessary. All that is needed is enthusiasm to engage with interesting problems and learn new and exciting methods to tackle them.
