[ICTs-and-Society] New Interdisciplinary Master's Programme in Digital Media & Society at Uppsala University

[Christian Fuchs]

Dear colleagues in the ICTs and Society-network,

I am happy to report that Uppsala University, where I have been 
professor in media/communication studies since a year, has introduced a 
new 2 years master's programme in Digital Media & Society. The focus of 
the programme is to teach students in theoretical, empirical, ethical, 
critical, and practical skills required for analyzing the role of 
digital media and social media in the information society and how the 
challenges, opportunities, and risks of contemporary society shape 
digital media. The MA programme in Digital Media & Society prepares 
students for research education as PhD students and for becoming digital 
media professionals.

The master will start at the end of August 2012. The application period 
has just begun and will end on January 15, 2012.

The master's programme is taught in English. European Union students do 
not pay fees in Sweden.

It were a great help if you could forward the information about the new 
programme to your students and to colleagues in our research field.

Thank you a lot.
Best wishes,
Christian Fuchs
