Master of Science (E-Governance for Developing States)

The MSc in E-Governance for Developing States degree program tackles the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to deliver improved services and democracy. It also seeks to analyze and describe the connection between government, the business world, and civil society and their use of the internet and other digital devices to facilitate effective decision-making. It fundamentally examines the very nature of the transformative changes occurring in public life and how they are redefined, managed, and negotiated for citizens and the way they live, communicate and work.

The MSc in e-Governance for Developing States presents the historical, institutional, legal, organizational, functional, policy, and theoretical background critical for assisting in the preparation and career-readiness of public administration scholars and practitioners of information and communication technologies (ICTS).

The course syllabus includes what government functions and practices are changed by e-governance initiatives and what the socio-political implications of e-governance are and how these initiatives are designed and evaluated.
