MA/MS in Archival and Information Studies

The programme starts from the observation that a shift toward computation has transformed the ways in which information is produced, used, gathered, shared and kept by people and institutions alike, turning data into a resource as fundamental to daily life as food, energy or transport, while fragmenting and personalising how data is created and used. From there it examines what these changes mean for information management and record-keeping: how data is reused in bureaucratic practice, decision-making and information processing, what is needed to secure accountability and let present activities be reconstructed later, how relevant information stays accessible over time, how a data-driven culture reshapes values such as transparency and privacy, and how archives of the past stay connected to the needs of the present.
