Overview

Key Features

The Science and Technology Policy Studies program from METU Middle East Technical University aims to deal with economic, social, cultural and philosophical challenges of today's knowledge-based economy and society.

Modern science and technology has evolved to such a degree of complexity that calls for appropriate policies which can no longer be formulated adequately within the matrix of any single discipline. In order to match this level of complexity recent policy issues require a multi-disciplinary approach. By encouraging both curiosity-driven and rigorous applied interdisciplinary research in science and technology, METU-TEKPOL aims at preparing students towards tackling theoretical and applied issues. The graduates of he program will be qualified to work in technology and research-oriented organizations in the public sector, as well as industry and universities.

The success of the program can be judged by placement of its students to similar reputable programs in United States and Europe for further studies such as, Technology and Policy Program of MIT; Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University; Sussex Policy Research Unit (SPRU) of Sussex University, UNU-MERIT of Maastricht University; Innovation, Management and Policy Department of Manchester University and CIRCLE of Lund University and Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, University of Gothenburg.
