The programme embeds societal impact, diversity and sustainability in its design. Dr Pedro Rosa Dias, Academic Director of the programme said: “We live in the age of big data and this has revolutionised the workplace and transformed our way of understanding the world’s complexities. In developing this programme, the feedback from employers has been clear: we need a new generation of graduates in economics and finance who are able to use data science to guide businesses, public bodies and international organisations in today’s digital economy.” Professor Emma McCoy, Vice Provost (Education and Student Experience) at Imperial College London said: “Education will be the most powerful instigator of our global economic recovery from the pandemic and in addressing global disruption. The university students of today will be the thought leaders of the future. “In launching this degree, Imperial is supporting that next generation to influence the debates that will shape our society for many years to come. Successful applicants should expect to graduate with a deep, multi-disciplinary skillset, a strong understanding on how to contribute our aim to tackle the world’s challenges alongside an agile approach to using data to inform their decision-making.” Future careersFlexibility has been built into the curriculum, enabling students to tailor their studies to suit their career interests.
