The MSc Digital & AI policy is designed to offer graduates the opportunity to study some of the core topical, theoretical and methodological Digital & AI Policy issues arising today.
With support from Microsoft Ireland, UCD School of Information and Communication Studies has established our Digital & AI Policy Programmes with the goal of building digital policy training and capability.
These are designed to offer graduates the opportunity to study some of the core topical, theoretical, and methodological issues that arise in all dimensions of life. We investigate the institutional and public policy dimensions of the prevalence of digital technologies, infrastructures, production, capture, and analysis. Our programmes also study the underlying social conditions (economic, political, and cultural) that give rise to such technologies and their governance, as well as the multiple public sector and commercial contexts where policy is made and enacted.
In addition to face-to-face environments for our MSc and graduate diploma, we offer online learning options for some programmes.
