Bridging Science and Society
In this MA programme, students learn to analyse the role of knowledge communication in society.
The programme broadly examines how knowledge is created, processed, disseminated, and used, including the effects of knowledge and knowledge communication. Our concept of knowledge encompasses not only knowledge validated by the scientific system but also alternative forms of knowledge and everyday understanding.
Following this approach, knowledge can be generated in many different ways, with data playing a central role. By specialising in computational communication science, students gain expertise in linking large volumes of data and knowledge, and in processing, organising, and interpreting knowledge in the form of data. With its emphasis on highly topical content and computational social sciences, this Master’s programme develops sought-after specialists who are well-prepared for diverse career opportunities.
