Taught Programmes

  • MSc in Social Science of the Internet

The first intake of students for this new course will take place in October 2009. With a demanding programme delivered over ten months, this Master’s course will enable students to take courses in Law, policy and the social sciences that are focused on the Internet and Web. The course will equip students with essential theoretical tools and methodological skills and introduce them to the empirical evidence necessary for an in-depth understanding of the role of the Internet in society, including the changing nature of governance and the theoretical, practical and ethical questions surrounding Internet use.
