MAS in Technology and Public Policy
Starts every year in January. Applications are open 15 August to 15 November
The Master of Advanced Studies in Technology and Public Policy (MAS TPP) degree equips participants with a broad set of public policy analysis skills that they need in order to address the specific societal challenges at the interface between technology and public policy that they currently deal with in their work, or that they want to work on in the future.
It is possible to upgrade to a MAS TPP degree (60 ECTS) after having completed one or even both CAS TPP degrees. It is also possible to apply for the MAS TPP degree directly. If you are interested in applying for the MAS TPP, please get in touch with the TPP Programme Manager beforehand, in order to discuss your individual situation.
Structure
In addition to completing the CAS TPP: Policy Process degree and the CAS TPP: Impact Analysis degree, MAS TPP participants will broaden their horizon by taking elective courses which put science in perspective (15 ECTS) and will practically apply what was learnt by carrying out a Policy Analysis Project supervised by a Senior Researcher or Professor (15 ECTS).
Schedule
In a part-time study mode, both CAS TPP degrees, the electives and the Policy Analysis Project can be completed within about four semesters meaning two years. The MAS TPP can be started with either of the two CAS TPP in the spring semester of every year. It starts with the 'CAS TPP: Policy Process' in uneven years and with the 'CAS TPP: Impact Analysis' in even years.
