Teaching

The Masters classes offered at the Chair of Social Data Science are part of the Mannheim Master in Social Data Science program. This is an interdisciplinary program of study that is unique in Germany. In courses in Sociology, Political Sciences, Business Informatics and Mathematics, students work on questions specifically from the field of Social Sciences. In this master’s program, you can also attend methods courses from the Mannheim Master in Data Science program.

Students learn to collect, organize, and analyze large amounts of data using the appropriate tools and methods to answer questions related to Social Sciences. The master’s program comprises five major areas:

• Fundamentals of Data Science (27 ECTS credits)
• Data Science Methods (27 ECTS credits)
• Advanced Data Science Methods (18–23 ECTS credits)
• Data Science Applications (18–23 ECTS credits)
• Master's Thesis (30 ECTS credits)

This program of study is taught completely in English.
