The great challenges of our time, from climate crisis to information manipulation, all have something in common: they are complex societal phenomena and solving them requires cross-disciplinary approaches. These so-called wicked problems call for holistic solutions that recognise larger connections between things. Tailored to the needs of the future digital economy and information society, the programme provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how individual technologies and business models can shape societies and values through organisations, networks, and whole industries. 

The programme offers four majors: Software Engineering and Architectures; Business and Organisational Design; Digital Ethics, Society and Policy; and User, Data and Design.

Upon graduating from the Master’s Programme in Information Networks, graduates will have: 

  • Societal perspective to technologies. Graduates understand the broader impacts of digital technologies and how they can pave the way for sustainable, human and ethical visions of technology in society. 
  • Understanding of how technology and information systems reshape businesses. Graduates know how information technologies, such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing, enable new business models and organisations to develop. 
  • Ability for critical thinking. Graduates are skilled in evaluating and creating information, technology and business models from ethical, philosophical and societal perspectives. 
  • Socially conscious engineering mindset. Graduates are skilled with tools and knowledge on how to create societally sustainable and ethically sound technologies, organisations, and businesses.
