MA/MS in Information Studies

Information studies is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the collection, classification, storage, retrieval, manipulation, dissemination and analysis of information, approaching systemic problems by first considering the stakeholders involved and only then applying technology, and drawing on computer science alongside the social sciences, public policy, philosophy, management, communications, commerce and cognitive science. The programme offers two tracks: Data Science, which builds a working knowledge of data-science theories and tools and how to apply them to data across different domains, and Information Systems, which builds the capability to examine and build information systems that cover supply, storage and communication needs, based on the interaction between humans and information systems.
