Society and Leadership

In order to change the world, you need to understand it. With us at Tampere University you can for example learn to analyse and deal with change in complex environments, take a deep-dive into peace and mediation or learn how to use economic tools to address broad societal problems. If you want to especially focus on sustainability, you may opt for sustainable digital life or governance for sustainable change. For gamers out there, our Game Studies programme provides an in-depth view to the fundamental character of games and play and how to use them to create a playful future for all.
