We live in an age where almost everything of what we do is connected to
data. Big data and datafication pose great opportunities but also risks
for contemporary societies. This new MA course addresses, explores and
creatively utilises this transformation. We place an emphasis on current
and future technologies and practices such as algorithms, artificial
intelligence, big data, blockchain, data analytics and data mining, the
Internet of Things, and others. This multidisciplinary course is the
first of its kind in the UK in bringing together media / communication
studies and computer science. It combines hands-on and applied
approaches with theoretical learning and critical analysis. It will
encourage collaboration, creative practice, group work and problem-based
learning, with students applying tools and technologies to their own
data challenges and projects, including from their existing professional
or cultural, political, social and economic environments.
