Starting in the 2025/2026 academic year, the School of Human, Social and Cultural Heritage Sciences at the University of Padua will offer a new Master’s degree programme in Social Sciences and Digital Data. The programme, delivered entirely in English and in a blended format, adopts a transdisciplinary approach and provides advanced skills for the analysis, interpretation, and use of digital data across a range of social and economic domains. Its aim is to train graduates capable of working in diverse professional contexts—such as education, research, innovation, business, healthcare, and communication—by combining advanced data analysis techniques (including digital methods, machine learning, and generative artificial intelligence) with collaboration alongside data science specialists. The programme places particular emphasis on the social, ethical, and political implications of digital transformation processes.
The curriculum prepares students for two main professional profiles:
- Digital Innovation Strategist – a professional skilled in designing digital strategies that integrate social and technological expertise to support digital transformation within organizations;
- Digital Data Strategist – a specialist in the management, analysis, and quality control of digital data.
