You'll graduate equipped with the knowledge, understanding, analytical and research skills with which to consider, evaluate and investigate our digital present and future as a community, society, even as a species. You'll be well-equipped to embark on careers in media, creative, and technology sectors, research work, arts and culture, government and public administration, education, or further PhD study.
