Overview

Embedded in innovation systems thinking, this Development, Technology and Innovation Policy MPA provides University College London (UCL) candidates with tools to explore how public policy can help align technologies and innovations to effectively respond to persistent and new societal challenges.

Our Development, Technology and Innovation Policy MPA takes candidates through an experiential learning journey in which they will emerge equipped with the tools, mental models and skills to creatively tackle persistent and emerging development questions in pursuit of vibrant, sustainable, profitable and inclusive economies across the developing world.

This MPA will tackle a series of pressing questions for policymakers, such as:

How can countries, in particular low- and middle-income countries, achieve their development goals in the face of rapid technological change, increased global interdependencies, and a wide range of wicked problems such as disease epidemics and climate change?
How best can countries engage in policy experimentation and/or prototyping in pursuit of their development targets?

Should emerging economies follow innovation and development models used by advanced economies or should they pioneer new approaches to innovation?

Networking

There will be various networking opportunities throughout the degree including:

participation in relevant STEaPP research clusters;
participation in relevant departmental, faculty and university seminars;
leveraging our location to facilitate exposure visits to and from development agencies, policy organisations and industry;
opportunities for co-publishing with faculty and other cohort members.
