This course prepares you to address global challenges through science and technology policy, equipping you to use evidence to inform decision making and shape the governance of innovation and technological change.
Designed for flexibility, this fully online course can be studied from anywhere in the world, full-time, part-time or through modular/flexible study (taking at most five years).
You will explore a wide range of contemporary issues across innovation, development, science and engineering, governance and regulation. You’ll learn how to design and implement evidence-based policy using conceptual frameworks and analytical methods, while reflecting on the social, ethical and human dimensions that shape decision-making.
As a graduate, you’ll be equipped to evaluate and advise on options for innovation policy and emerging technology governance, use diplomacy to navigate stakeholder interests, and communicate and engage with technical, policy and public audiences.
Join leading UCL academics and a global student body in applying these insights to diverse real-world challenges such as environmental and climate change, urbanisation, and technological transformation, preparing you to manage complexity and uncertainty in policymaking and drive positive societal change.
