This MA focuses on how digital technologies are used in everyday life and offers students the opportunity to consider how we might design better futures by exploring the intersection of networked sociality, organizational practices, and IT design.
Discuss cutting edge knowledge about the social impact of digital technologies with internationally established professors (including yours truly). Learn from computer scientists how digital forms of communication and interaction are designed and programmed. Work with professors from information and media studies to build a strong grounding in the political, social, and economic structures of 21st Century organizations and institutions.
In addition to theoretically-grounded classroom discussions, students design and build interfaces, engage in empirical studies of digital contexts, and explore how new eBusiness models work. This well-rounded Masters Programme provides solid grounding for analyzing contemporary social media practices and developing sustainable and ethical digital futures.
