Master of Science in Urban Data Science and Analytics
Program Overview
Our Masters degree in Urban Data Science and Analytics offers you the opportunity to gain in depth knowledge of the methods and approaches of data science, and learn how to apply them in understanding cities and setting urban policy.
The course will combine technical training in the latest data science techniques – from data wrangling, to machine learning, to visualisation, and beyond – with the critical thinking needed to interrogate and understand complex urban and mobility challenges.
At the heart of this course will be a commitment to tackling the real-world challenges facing cities.
Researchers at the University of Leeds are finding novel data-driven solutions to tackle challenges such as traffic congestion, social and economic equality, healthy cities, and competition for resources.
