Programme overview

The study programme in a nutshell

The master specialisation Digitalisation, Surveillance & Societies covers pressing topics like the integration of digital technologies into a range of everyday practices and its effects. As well as cross-sector issues that require critical reflection about data collection, discrimination, privacy violations, and disruptions by and through digital media.

Digitalisation, Surveillance & Societies is one of the five master Media Studies specialisations. The curriculum is small-scale, intensive, and interactive. Seminars, workshops, field trips and guest lectures provide a varied and challenging programme.

Much attention is given to academic skills: you learn to present, debate, write and analyse. You receive support from a motivated team of international lecturers. Your own input is valued and counts as part of your assessment. In addition, you can expect devoted, individual guidance when writing your master thesis.
