Introduction

Use big data to tackle society’s biggest challenges How do communities bounce back after tragic events like the COVID-19 pandemic? What role do social media play in political polarisation? How can analyzing data help us find solutions? And what are the ethical concerns in mining data? These are big questions that require big answers. The two-year Societal Resilience Research Master’s program identifies, investigates, and develops solutions for broad social challenges, using qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze data, both big and small. Become the researcher of the future A Research Master’s degree in Societal Resilience prepares you to become the researcher of the future – someone who uses the latest in big data methods to analyze and solve tomorrow’s social challenges. The Societal Resilience Research Master’s program is deliberately broad. It covers four key themes: Diversity and inclusive communities Dynamics of interconnectedness Care and welfare Governance reform You’ll delve into these four topics using a variety of data analysis methods, such as advanced data mining algorithms, scraping tools to collect data, qualitative and computational text analysis, and online network analysis. At the same time, you’ll develop communication, self-reflection, and project management skills to be able to collaborate in multi-disciplinary teams, all of which will be highly valuable in the job market. Each thematic course is co-taught by senior social scientists from different backgrounds – for example, the diversity course is led by a qualitative sociologist and a quantitative social psychologist. Societal Resilience offers you a unique proposition: while other computational social science programs focus more on data methodologies, Societal Resilience applies these methods to real-world problems.
