They are organised in the form of block courses or courses on fixed days of the week and last one to two years. Certificate of Advanced Studies This description is only available in English. ClusterPublic Policy & Governance Complementing their science or engineering backgrounds, the TPP programme participants acquire public policy analysis skills in order to thrive at the intersection between technology and public policy. Programme structureProgramme descriptionThe TPP programme targets professionals from both the private and public sector who want to further develop the policy analysis skills they need to effectively address societal challenges in their current or future careers. The programme is structured modularly so as to best suit the backgrounds, interests, aims and needs of the participants. It consists of two CAS degrees in Technology and Public Policy (15 ECTS each). ObjectivesParticipants will learn how to systematically and effectively (1) analyse how public institutions function and how policy choices are made; and (2) how to manage policy-making processes and communicate effectively with policy-makers, stakeholders, and the public. Professional perspectivesGraduates of the TPP programme will belong to the next generation of policy analysts, decision-makers and policy-makers who are literate in both science and technology as well as policy analysis. With the acquired knowledge and skills they will be well prepared to design and implement public policies addressing today’s grand societal challenges in areas such as, for example, climate change, urban development, sustainable mobility, the energy transition, and the digital transformation. Programme structureOne-semester part-time programme, can also be completed in 1.5 years. Additional informationThe programme participants will have the opportunity to apply these skills to the policy issues that interest them or to problems that are relevant in their professional settings (e.g. mobility, energy, public health, the digital space, urban planning, environment / sustainability, security, and others), and will profit from high-level interactions with academics, experienced practitioners and their peers.
