Our Science, Technology and Society MSc focuses on the complex ways science and technology shape the modern world. Drawing on a wide range of disciplinary approaches in sociology, political science, policy studies, cultural and media studies we train students to critically understand how scientific knowledge is created and used, how technology and innovation processes are governed and the multiple ways science is embedded in cultural and public settings. The course is delivered by a faculty of internationally significant scholars in the field and provides broad-based training in three disciplines: science policy and governance; science communication, engagement, and evaluation; and sociology of modern science and technology.
