英國大學經濟學+數據科學碩士怎麽樣？

這幾天，曼徹斯特大學說要新增一個(ge) 授課型碩士項目 —— MSc Economics and Data Science。看這項目名稱，又是經濟學，又是數據科學，基本可以預見到，24fall會(hui) 收到很多很多的申請。

把經濟學和數據科學湊到一起搞成碩士項目，其實曼大的動作已經算慢了。今年7月的時候，劍橋大學的經濟係就說要開一個(ge) “經濟學+數據科學”的碩士。而且在劍橋之前，英國已經有好幾所大學就這麽(me) 幹了。

如果有學生心想：讀了這樣的一個(ge) 碩士項目，能在經濟學和數據科學這2方麵都學到很多。

那我覺得有點不現實了。看看這幾家的課程：

就我覺得吧，這些“經濟學+數據科學”的碩士，大部分項目骨子裏還是經濟學，

學生能額外收獲的可能是，多一個(ge) 從(cong) 數據科學角度去認知和理解經濟學，

數據科學這方麵的技能的訓練，在這樣的碩士項目就讀期間，不會(hui) 得到很大的提升，除非學生課外額外自學

然後，我還沒去查其他還有哪些英國大學也開設了“經濟學+數據科學”的碩士，

如果還不多的話，可能後麵其他的英國大學也會(hui) 紛紛效仿
