Master in Digital Communication Leadership (DCLead) is an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree co-funded by the European Union. It is organized by four universities: University of Salzburg, Aalborg University Copenhagen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Wageningen University. The program offers an interdisciplinary education in digital communication, combining academic discussions with practical skills and a leadership approach that emphasizes ethical reflection, societal values, and sustainability. Students can choose from three tracks: POLINN, which focuses on policy and innovation; TECMAN, which prepares graduates to manage technology-business dynamics; and ICT4D, which addresses digital communication for development in emerging economies. The program includes a master thesis and is taught in English, with semesters rotating across the participating universities. DCLead also features the Salzburg School, offering short courses for early-stage researchers and professionals. The program prepares graduates for various roles in ICT/media companies, public institutions, and leadership positions that require a comprehensive understanding of economy, technology, culture, and society.
