Beschreibung des Angebots

Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) ist eine Nachdiplomausbildung der Hochschulen und entspricht mindestens 60 ECTS-Punkten.

Complementing their science or engineering backgrounds, the TPP programme participants acquire public policy analysis skills. By taking elective courses which put science in perspective and by practically applying what was learnt in a Policy Analysis Project, TPP graduates are ready to thrive at the intersection between technology and public policy.

Participants will get to know the entire field of public policy analysis from policy process to impact analysis. They will learn how to systematically and effectively

• analyse how public institutions function and how policy choices are made
• manage policy-??making processes and communicate effectively with policy-??makers, stakeholders, and the public
• design solutions (policy interventions) based on systematic analysis of their potential economic, social, and political consequences
• evaluate how implemented policy interventions perform in terms of their effectiveness, efficiency, and equity

The participants will broaden their horizon by taking elective courses which put science in perspective and they will practically apply what was learnt by carrying out a Policy Analysis Project (equals a MAS thesis).
