Unprecedented environmental change, global urbanisation and emerging technological revolutions are three defining themes of humanity’s attempt to chart a course of sustainable development this century. This MSc will confront you with the fact that dealing with complexity and uncertainty is hard, but that there are tools and practices that can be of immense help. 
 
On this programme you will be taught the conceptual frameworks, interdisciplinary evidence and policymaking tools, and analytical methods to develop innovative science, technology, and engineering policies. You will learn how policies are implemented, and how evidence is generated and governed to support appraisal and evaluation.
 
The interdisciplinary and practice-oriented approach of this online MSc programme prepares future policy-makers and leaders to tackle complex global challenges.
