Overview

The Technology Policy course from the University of Cambridge gives you the opportunity to enhance your technical knowledge, whilst also providing you with both the tools to manage technological implementation, and an awareness of the wider socio-economic and regulatory contexts.

The MPhil in Technology Policy programme provides the context and skills needed to cope with the rapidly evolving environment in many technology-rich areas, including information and communications technology, defence and aerospace, energy and electricity, manufacturing, transport and logistics, pharmaceuticals and health.

Corporate strategies and government policy influence regulation, industry standards and data sharing, which in turn have a major impact on the development of these industries and the competitive positioning of firms and nations. Performance is assessed by indicators such as competitiveness and productivity, as well as less traditional indicators such as sustainability and quality of life.
