Qual UX researcher thinking about getting a masters in data science- smart move??

Heyy! I’m a qual UX researcher with about 6 years of experience and I’ve been thinking about doing a master’s in data science to expand my skill set and diversify future opportunities (especially in mixed methods and quant UX roles, maybe data analyst/science roles too if I really like it).

I’m looking at programs in Europe for the adventure and the programs I’m considering are in psych/social science departments so not super hardcore stats/CS-heavy, but more behavioural/applied data science.

I can take a 1 year sabbatical from work so I’ll still have a job afterwards and I can focus on it full-time.

Worth it? Any advice or thoughts?

Thanks in advance !! :)
