GENERAL OBJECTIVES


The Master degree in Technology and Global Affairs, launched jointly as a dual degree between the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) and IE’s School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs (IE-SPEGA), takes a multidisciplinary approach to prepare individuals to navigate skillfully the complex intersection of rapid technological change and the transformation of the global geopolitical landscape.  It will equip students with the knowledge and expertise to become leaders in the public and private sector.


The program’s curriculum uniquely weaves three key dimensions: the impact of technology on geopolitical and security developments; the economic and business transformations driven by technology; and the technology driven evolutions of citizenship and fundamental rights. Issues related to the governance and regulation of technology will be treated as a fourth, cross-cutting dimension.


MAIN ORIENTATIONS AND SPECIFIC FEATURES


Technology, often simplified as Tech, is used here as a generic concept encompassing a broad range of disciplines and innovations. It relates particularly to computing, the use of data and algorithms, as well as technological advancements in the digital sphere (e.g. internet connectivity, social media platforms, online information sharing, digital communication tools, etc.). More recently, Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has erupted as a disruptive and transformative component of this multidisciplinary reality. 


This dual Master in Technology and Global Affairs will equip its students with the best tools (analytical, technical, theoretical as well as very practical) to confront and deal with many of the questions posed at this pivotal moment of change. It will empower them to be at the very forefront of this transformative process: a process that is best approached and understood with an international and multilateral perspective. It will also provide students with the necessary skills to deal professionally with technology as it relates to the social sciences and impacts on global affairs.  


CAREER OPPORTUNITIES


Graduates will be solidly equipped to take on such roles and to pursue rewarding careers both in the public and in the private sector, combining their newly acquired perspective, vision and technical skills with other vocational or professional interests. They will be prepared to serve at national, multilateral and intergovernmental administrations in a range of roles related to geopolitics, defence, cybersecurity, and other policy areas; as well as within large corporations and respected consultancy firms.
