Contribution to a progressive professionalization of the political systemExpertise in the interplay between technology/digitization, politics and communication New opportunities for digital communication strengthen democratic development, participation and transparencyThe Master degree program for advanced professional training in Digitization, Politics and Communication emphasizes the need to think, develop and plan strategic areas that are currently often considered separately, namely communication, technology, politics and business.
