In 2001 the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) was founded at the University of Oxford for the study of the social implications of the Internet. 

When I wrote this entry in November 2013 it remained the only major department in a top-ranked international university to offer multi-disciplinary social science degree programs focussing on the Internet, including a one-year MSc in Social Science of the Internet and a DPhil in Information, Communication and the Social Sciences
