Bilim ve Teknoloji Politikası Çalışmaları Yüksek Lisans Programı

  • Program tanımları M.S. PROGRAM IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY STUDIES

    The graduate program in "Science and Technology Policy Studies" (METU-STPS) is designed to equip students with necessary know-how in economic, social and cultural policy-making as well as endowing them with scholarly approaches to the question concerning modern science and technology. It aims to deal with economic, social-cultural, philosophical, ethical, environmental as well as engineering aspects of today's information-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 that level of complexity, truly multi-disciplinary approaches are required in addressing emergent policy issues. As expected, similar graduate programs have recently been designed in other countries. By encouraging both curiosity-driven and applied interdisciplinary research in science and technology, the METU-STPS, too, aims at preparing its students towards engaging in not merely theoretical but empirical issues as well. Graduates will be qualified to work in technology and research-oriented organizations in government and industry or in universities.

    The STPS Program welcomes students who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of science and technology, and who hold an undergraduate degree in any field. All applicants are expected to fill out an application form, together with an essay on any subject (it may be a term paper previously submitted for a course, for example), and transcripts.

    Fields of Study :
    Technological, economic, social-cultural, philosophical, ethical, environmental as well as engineering aspects of today's information-based economy and society.
