Master in Computational Social Sciences (MA) - Koc

Pioneering in computational and quantitative social science research in Turkey, Koc University established the master in Computational Social Sciences (MA) in 2021. The first of its kind in the country, the CSS MA program aims to deepen the theoretical and methodological training in computational social science methods.

This two-year master in Computational Social Sciences (MA) will provide researchers with the skills to work with larger data sets than they encounter in traditional social science fields, to use state-of-the-art tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, text processing, network analysis, etc. and to apply the most up-to-date computational techniques.

As an interdisciplinary program, the master in Computational Social Sciences (MA) aims to create a synergy by combining existing courses and research initiatives with lectures and research techniques on new methods.

In this respect, social sciences and humanities courses will enable students to develop their computational and mathematical skills, while students with these skills will deepen their competencies in social science theory and examine social science research questions.
