Make a positive mark on the world by gaining in-demand skills needed to solve key challenges of society. By studying a broad range of topics through this degree taught from engineering, social and political perspectives, you’ll gain multi-disciplinary knowledge that is sought-after in business, charity, government and policy roles. Delivered by a university that is globally recognised for its cross-disciplinary and real-world expertise, this programme will help you become a next generation leader in social change. Science and engineering offer the answers to many of society’s challenges, while policy identifies and responds to these most complex global issues.
