这几天，曼彻斯特大学说要新增一个授课型硕士项目 —— MSc Economics and Data Science。看这项目名称，又是经济学，又是数据科学，基本可以预见到，24fall会收到很多很多的申请。
把经济学和数据科学凑到一起搞成硕士项目，其实曼大的动作已经算慢了。今年7月的时候，剑桥大学的经济系就说要开一个“经济学+数据科学”的硕士。而且在剑桥之前，英国已经有好几所大学就这么干了。
如果有学生心想：读了这样的一个硕士项目，能在经济学和数据科学这2方面都学到很多。
那我觉得有点不现实了。看看这几家的课程：

就我觉得吧，这些“经济学+数据科学”的硕士，大部分项目骨子里还是经济学，
学生能额外收获的可能是，多一个从数据科学角度去认知和理解经济学，
数据科学这方面的技能的训练，在这样的硕士项目就读期间，不会得到很大的提升，除非学生课外额外自学
然后，我还没去查其他还有哪些英国大学也开设了“经济学+数据科学”的硕士，
如果还不多的话，可能后面其他的英国大学也会纷纷效仿
