Organisation, Digitalisation, Administration and Work is an interdisciplinary master’s degree programme which goes into depth on the role o social sciences in both the public and private sectors.

The programme gives the candidate an interdisciplinary understanding of the interaction between digital technologies, public and private sector organisations within a social science perspective. This forms the basis for knowledge about digitisation and societal change, with a particular focus on changes in working life and the development of the Norwegian welfare state.

The programme provides the candidate with analytical skills to study complex organisations and technologies based on social science theories and methods.

The programme also provides an important understanding of communication, economics and technology in an organisational context in that the candidate has had the opportunity to supplement with electives in various subject areas at NTNU. Through interdisciplinary perspectives and a critical thinking, the candidate will be able to contribute to the knowledge of how digitisation and organisational changes affect work and professional performance.
