MSc Digital Economy at King's College London

Understanding the digital economy through a human lens The MSc Digital Economy at King’s College London examines how digital technologies are reshaping economic life. Rather than approaching the digital economy solely through the lens of business, management, or traditional economics, the programme draws on the strengths of interdisciplinary Digital Humanities approaches to critically examine the cultural, political, and economic implications of technology. Students thereby gain a richer understanding of the human consequences of digital transformation and the complex forces driving technological change.

What you will study

The programme is anchored by two core modules that provide complementary perspectives on the digital economy, moving from everyday experiences of technology to the wider structures that shape digital capitalism. This allows students to bridge local and systemic dynamics, revealing how seemingly small technological changes connect with broader structures of power, inequality and economic organisation. Micro Perspectives in the Digital Economy focuses on how people, communities, and organisations experience and shape technological change.
