What makes DIGISOC unique
At DIGISOC students benefit from:
- an excellence-oriented, research-based, and highly interdisciplinary teaching programme;
- a diverse learning environment, innovative teaching methods, and international mobility;
- a joint transnational education, resulting in a joint degree and joint micro-credentials;
- a hybrid, seamless, collaborative and challenge-based educational environment.
A unique feature of DIGISOC is its Collaboratorium for Blended International Hybrid Learning, a new educational concept which combines onsite in-person interaction and collaboration, scaling possibilities of online teaching and student collaboration.
Graduates will be jointly awarded the Degree in Digital Society, Social Innovation and Global Citizenship from three European Universities: the University of Naples Federico II (Italy), the University of Innsbruck (Austria), and the Palacký University Olomouc (Czech).
Career perspectives and Job opportunities
DIGISOC graduates will be trained as responsible professionals, as well as future leaders, with a strong international perspective, motivated and capable of facing new social challenges that digitalisation poses to our societies but also of exploiting the opportunities that it offers to promote forms of social innovation that respond to an ethical, sustainable and inclusive perspective. Graduates acquire a comprehensive set of skills that blend specialised technical knowledge with the ability to think critically and act ethically. This unique combination prepares professionals for a wide range of career paths in consulting, digital innovation and transformation, project and product management, research, as well as academic and leadership roles at a national and international level in public, private and third sector organisations in these fields.
