Data Ethics and Privacy

Using data effectively is a vital aspect of modern governance – but it must be done in a way that respects citizen privacy and manages risk. 

Data Ethics & Privacy is a specialised program that provides skills and knowledge needed to confidently navigate the complex intersection of data, ethics and privacy. 

By exploring the regulatory landscape of data management, you’ll gain an understanding of the ethical implications, risks and opportunities of leveraging AI tools in data management – all while developing a practical toolkit for ensuring robust data governance. 

You’ll finish the program better equipped to lead on digital and data initiatives, drive an ethical approach to data governance and apply risk frameworks to maintain public trust in the digital age. 

This focused online program is designed for public sector managers and leaders who work with citizen data, shape data policy, or manage digital projects. It’s ideal for those who: 

• Need practical skills to manage data and improve data governance
