Additional InformationUnderstanding Digital Society
This online micro-credential, part of a postgraduate-level suite in Digital Trust and Security, explores how everyday digital activity generates data, how that data is collected and used by different actors, and how platforms, algorithms and AI shape the information people encounter, the choices they make, and the decisions organisations take.
You will examine key issues including privacy, surveillance, disinformation, automation and data exposure, and consider the wider social, ethical and professional implications of these systems.
By the end of the course, you will be better informed about how your data is used, how digital systems shape behaviour and decision-making, and how to make more deliberate choices in personal and professional contexts.
