Master of Digital and Social Media

This specialisation explores the human dimensions of the internet, including how people network, collaborate, and share information through digital and social media and design. Through topics such as entertainment, politics, sex, and relationships, students analyse digital culture conceptually to better understand how technology and society are intertwined, as well as the role of social media in social interaction and the internet's impact on the global economy.
