Advances in science and technology continue to transform the way we live. This makes designing effective policies for science and technology a priority for governments worldwide. The challenge is not just to advance science and technology, but to set directions and priorities for their development.
On the Science and Technology Policy (with a professional placement year) MSc, you'll learn about the language, logic and tools of policy formulation, and analysis. You'll be taught by world-leading researchers and scholars, and benefit from the global networks enjoyed by the University of Sussex Business School and SPRU — Science Policy Research Unit.
You'll investigate science and technology policy challenges, and learn to evaluate and recommend policy solutions. This includes frameworks and tools to understand the complex dynamics of policy development; critiquing and contributing to science, technology and innovation policy, and industrial strategy; and analysing science, technology and innovation policy using an array of methodologies, from a number of perspectives. |
