Digital Economy MSc

Loading...

This Digital Economy MSc follows the digital to study how and why digital artefacts are transforming the way we work, transact, collaborate, and control global labour, institutions, and markets. With a focus on digital products, processes, services, business models, monetisation, and even orchestration, you’ll discover what happens to the digital in each of these spheres. And by tracing how these digital artefacts evolve and shift, you will gain an understanding of their influence at a macro level, how the phenomenon of digital growth impacts society, and how to best manage these artefacts at a micro level.

Key benefits

  • Cultivate a grounding in how digital innovation needs to be managed and coordinated.
  • Discover how to critically evaluate the strength and value of innovative business models in the private and public sectors.
  • Gain a detailed understanding of how digital artefacts influence society and how to manage them.
  • Learn from a case study-focused curriculum that combines theory and practice and is taught by a research-led teaching faculty of digital innovation and economy experts.
  • Join a Digital Humanities Department that’s the largest in the UK and a global leader in researching digital and culture.
