• The Master’s in Information Sciences spans Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and its practical application in a society that is increasingly digital. To lead the way, society needs a new generation of IT professionals who know how to create socio-technical systems that support the needs of modern organizations, from enterprises, SMEs and NGOs, to online communities and the public at large. At the same time, modern society is concerned with its sustainability footprint in terms of environmental, social, technical, and economic priorities. This requires IT professionals and organizations to become more digital while doing business responsibly.
  • The Information Sciences program trains students to become outstanding researchers and/or professionals. Students will master skills for independent problem solving when it comes to the design, application, and real-life use of complex information systems in modern organizations. Students will benefit from a unique combination of strong IT competencies, knowledge of the sustainability implications of digital solutions in wider society, and critical reflection skills. The program also offers a well-tuned balance between scientific rigor and practical relevance.
  • The program has a unique multidisciplinary focus on digital socio-technical systems and sustainability in a broad sense. Teaching is composed of compulsory core courses, a selection of elective courses, and a Master’s project in Information Sciences. For student's projects, they can choose to take a professional internship with a partner organization or carry out cutting-edge research on a topic of their choice. Either way, the program culminates with writing a thesis on a student's chosen project. 
  • To offer students even more professional expertise, the faculty has close contacts with local, national, and international trade and industry. New developments are integrated seamlessly into the program all the time. Faculty staff work with consultancy firms, the financial services sector, the music industry, electricity suppliers, cultural institutions, and many more.
