The MSc Science and Technology in Society offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of science and technology studies (STS), and is intended for students wishing to develop a theoretical and practical understanding of the interplay between science and society.<br><br>The scientific and technological nature of our societies is, unquestionably, one of their most salient characteristics. Science and technology are with us, human (and other) beings, every moment of the day, every day of our lives, and even when life turns into death. But why exactly do science and technology (and innovation) exert such influence over humans and their doings Where does such power come from In short: what makes them special On the other side, is it correct to assume that societies and social actors are powerless in the face of scientific and technological developments Are there grounds to question who is or should be an expert Why do governments (and some international organisations) seek to regulate science and scientific advancements Why have public engagement with scientific innovations, patient groups involvement in medical and healthcare developments, and demands for responsible innovation become so prominent in recent years<br><br>These are some of the questions which underlie our programme. Students will be given the chance to explore them in a variety of contexts and through the lenses of different theoretical and analytical traditions.
