Digital Intelligence* courses
The Digital Intelligence* major is structured around a 3×3 framework, as shown in the table below. The three levels on the left define the scale at which you learn—from your own digital life to the workplace, to society. The three pillars define the capabilities you develop at every level—the ability to think strategically, to create digital solutions, and to make sense of information. Every course sits at the intersection of a level and a pillar.

DIGI 101: My Digital Life | Your phone? Your apps? Your AI? They're more than just tools. Together, they form your personal digital system, shaping how you connect, create, learn, and navigate the world. In this course, you'll unpack that system and learn how to redesign it. You'll explore how digital tools influence your habits, choices, identity, and attention, and go behind the scenes of the algorithms and systems you use every day. By the end, you'll know how to design, organise, and improve your own digital system, becoming the architect of your digital life and building the foundation for understanding larger digital systems in organisations and society. |
DIGI 102: Building Applications with AI | How do you build your great idea? This course moves you from user to creator, teaching you to design and build applications. But you won't be doing it alone: you'll partner with GenAI, becoming an orchestrator who guides, critiques, tests, and refines what AI helps create. You'll break ideas into steps, make design choices, debug problems, and build responsibly with AI. By the end, you'll have the skills to realise your vision and the confidence to keep building. |
DIGI 103: Making Sense of My Information | Every search, every scroll, every notification — you're surrounded by information. But how do you know what matters, what to trust, and what it means? In this course, you'll learn to organise the information in your life, so it is findable, useful, and meaningful. You'll analyse it to spot patterns, question it before you rely on it, and turn what you learn into visualisations and stories that make the meaning clear. By the end, you'll know how to make sense of your own information and be ready to apply those sensemaking skills in organisations and society. |
DIGI 201: Transforming the Digital Workplace | How do you architect the digital future of a business? You start with how it works today. In this course, you'll learn to see an organisation as a system — how work happens, who it affects, and how technology supports it. You'll apply design thinking to engage with stakeholders, identify problems worth solving, and frame them clearly. From there, you’ll identify where technology can make the business work better. By the end, you'll have the skills and perspectives needed to contribute to the transformation of a digital workplace. |
DIGI 202: Creating Digital Solutions for Business | How do you solve a business problem with technology? Once the problem is clear, you design, build, and test possible solutions. In this course, you'll use design thinking to turn ideas into prototypes, design for the people who will use them, and build with GenAI as your development partner. You'll test your solution, learn from feedback, and keep improving it. By the end, you'll be ready to create digital solutions that respond to real business needs. |
DIGI 203: Shaping Business with Information | Every business runs on information, but that information is often messy, scattered, or hard to trust. In this course, you'll learn to make sense of the information a business relies on — where it comes from, how it is organised, and what it can tell us. You'll work with GenAI to ask better questions of business data, check whether the answers make sense, and turn what you find into insight for decision makers. You'll also learn what it takes to look after business information, keeping it accurate, secure, and trustworthy. By the end, you'll know how to shape better business decisions. |
DIGI 301: Governing the Digital Society | Technology shapes how we live, work, and connect — but does it do so fairly, responsibly, and sustainably? In this course, you'll examine how platforms, algorithms, and AI systems influence public life: what people see, what they believe, who gets included, and who is left out. You'll apply the Digital Building Code to ask whether the technologies we rely on protect people and communities and are built responsibly enough for the world they help create. By the end, you'll be ready to question how our digital society is governed and help make it fairer, more responsible, and more sustainable. |
DIGI 302: Solving Digital Challenges for Good | Every great digital solution starts with a problem that matters. In this course, you'll choose a real-world problem and take it from idea to working solution. You'll figure out who it affects, what needs to change, and what kind of digital response could help. Then you'll design, build, test, and improve it through a full design cycle. By the end, you'll be able to explain what you built, why you built it that way, and what difference it makes. |
DIGI 303: Empowering Communities through Information | Communities need information they can understand, trust, and use. In this course, you'll work with the information that surrounds social issues, making sense of data, reports, media, lived experience, and AI-generated content. You'll ask what can be trusted, whose voices count, what is missing, and what is easily misunderstood. You'll learn to translate complex and contested information into explanations, stories, and resources that help communities understand the issues that affect them and make informed choices. By the end, you'll know how to use information in ways that serve the public good. |
