Student Master Digitalisation, Surveillance and Societies
The right choice
After finishing my Bachelor in Maastricht (The Netherlands) I was excited to discover a new city, new university and of course a new study. With the Master Digitalisation, Surveillance and Societies only being offered at Erasmus University my choice was quickly made. With everything the vibrant city of Rotterdam has to offer, it immediately felt like the right choice.
The opportunities and challenges of digitalization
The master is very small-scale with diverse groups of students having different academic and cultural backgrounds. This innovative master specialization builds greatly upon my bachelor’s degree 'Digital Society' and offers a great way to expand my knowledge on the opportunities and challenges presented by digitalisation. But what is great is that this master specialization welcomes students from all different bachelor’s degrees, which makes classroom conversation diverse and eye-opening.
These in-classroom conversations are something that made Erasmus University the right choice for me. While our professors are highly knowledgeable in their fields, they are also interested in our opinions and perspectives and encourage us to share them.
Becoming an expert
The master is fast-paced and only one year, including the final thesis, which makes balancing schoolwork, social life, and a student job quite challenging. But this just takes some getting used to and if you need any help, the university offers plenty! Weeks pass by quickly, and before you know it, you are an expert in the field of digitalisation, surveillance, and societies.
