Data Analytics Track

The Data Analytics Track (DAT) is open to all SSE MSc students and combines a selection of existing courses focused on data analytics, programming, and quantitative methods. Upon successful completion of the requirements, a note confirming completion of the Data Analytics Track will be added to the degree certificate.

Please note that it is not possible to complete both the Data Analytics Track and the Sustainability Track. Students may only receive one of the two track certificates.
