Digital Governance & Public Policy数字治理与公共政策 (MSc)
Educating a new kind of public-sector and policy professional — one who can design, evaluate and lead governance in the digital age, at the intersection of public policy, technology, law and institutions.培养新一代公共部门与政策专业人才——能在数字时代设计、评估并领导治理，立于公共政策、科技、法律与制度的交汇之处。
Govern the digital age.治理数字时代。
The questions that now define public life — digital identity, AI in public decision-making, platform regulation, data and sovereignty — fall between disciplines. This programme is built to govern them as a whole.如今界定公共生活的那些问题——数字身份、公共决策中的 AI、平台监管、数据与主权——都落在学科之间。本课程正是为把它们作为一个整体来治理而设。
It pairs the rigour of public-policy analysis with real fluency in technology, data, law and ethics, so graduates can both understand digital systems and shape the institutions that govern them.它将公共政策分析的严谨，与对科技、数据、法律与伦理的真正通晓结合起来:让毕业生既读得懂数字系统，也塑造得了治理这些系统的制度。
For the people who shape public life.为塑造公共生活的人而设。
