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.

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. |
