Technology has changed everyday life—in business, in government, at home and at work. Although the rapid growth of digital and physical technologies is full of promise, it also presents risks. Maximising the benefits of digital transformation and innovation requires a new generation of leaders working across public, private and nonprofit sectors. The Master of Technology Governance is a forward-looking degree that addresses these new and pressing societal challenges. It equips students with the analytic and practical skills to assess and responsibly manage the opportunities and dangers of critical, disruptive and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, fintech and RegTech. The curriculum, comprised of both conceptual and applied courses, offers many opportunities to evaluate and design best practices across domains of commerce, digital identity, food systems, government services, justice, public health and security. Taught by experts based at the world-renowned School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), the Master of Technology Governance is a rich transdisciplinary training experience. Students learn how to combine evidence-informed regulatory frameworks with cutting-edge research to analyse real-world problems.
