Program Objectives
The Master's program in Network and Digital Information Systems offers a set of courses designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge and analytical tools to better understand key concepts in management (finance, human resource management, project management, marketing, logistics), information systems (modeling, governance, security, auditing), and innovation (both in digital technologies and media, as well as in its economic and regulatory dimensions), all within a constantly evolving environment.
Regardless of the second-year track, the program is built on mastering a core set of fundamental skills related to digital data management, the foundation of artificial intelligence models. The first year of the Master’s program provides a body of courses focused on digital data and artificial intelligence, serving as the basis for specialization in the various second-year tracks.
Program objectives:
- Master organizational architectures, technologies, and technical architecture principles
- Manage and finance digital and technological projects, from design to implementation
- Support companies in adapting and organizing around innovation processes
- Understand the economic, organizational, and legal constraints of digital projects
- Apply an approach based on artificial intelligence technologies to information systems, and critically assess the potential and limitations of AI and algorithms within organizations
- Master the conceptual and methodological framework of IT auditing, particularly in auditing the IT function, applications, and projects
- Understand audience expectations and provide program recommendations
- Develop content suitable for audiovisual broadcasters and digital platforms, and monetize audiences through mastery of the advertising value chain
- Oversee digital transformation projects at local, departmental, regional, and national levels, and contribute to their implementation
- Analyze and assess the economic, social, and behavioral impacts of AI and digital technologies
