The capstone project will provide students with the opportunity to study in-depth a topic of specific interest. The topic will normally relate to a specific data source (or sources) and will require the use of data science skills learnt on the programme. The topic for a capstone project will be similar to that for the kinds of data-based issues faced in practice by private or public sector organisations.

The capstone project is typically conducted in partnership with a company partner and is jointly supervised by the LSE faculty and company partner collaborators.

The capstone project requires creative work in formulating research questions and hypotheses, identifying the most suited methodology, referring to research literature, and analysing data sources using data science computing technologies.
