How should we think about autonomous robots, and what do they mean for society and our understanding of autonomy? How can we address privacy concerns about tracking apps? What are the ethical implications of using AI to detect crime? In this Master’s, you learn to critically examine the role of technology in society. You’ll explore philosophical questions about technology, human nature, and ethics, and assess the benefits and risks of emerging technologies that reshape how governments and businesses operate.
The programme offers room for personalisation: you can pursue a double degree with Public Administration or Business Administration, or deepen your research skills in one of three tracks – 4TU Ethics, AI, or Sustainability. There's a growing demand for experts who understand how science, technology, and society interact. After graduation, you’ll find career opportunities as a researcher, government adviser, concept developer, or innovation consultant.
