BSc Computational Social Science at University of Koblenz

The BSc Computational Social Science combines computer-based data collection and analysis from computer science with the topics and ways of thinking of psychology or sociology, giving both fields equal weight. Students learn to collect and combine digital behavioural data and find patterns, and to interpret them with psychological or sociological understanding and with data-protection and ethical foundations.

Duration: 6 semesters (3 years)  |  Study mode: full-time; German- and English-taught; on campus  |  Intake: Winter semester  |  Location: Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
