Social Sciences for a Digital Society

As a social scientist you need the knowledge and skills to collect and analyze data in a digital society. Polarization, cybersecurity, international migration, artificial intelligence and healthy ageing for example are global challenges that do not keep to disciplinary and methodological boundaries.

With experience and expertise in mixed methods and interdisciplinary research you will be able to address the global complexities of digital society.
