Technology Governance for Growth and Development

  Estonia
    Tallinn


Description: Technology Governance is an approach and a set of policies undertaken by the public and private sector and society actors in a given space in time to develop a knowledge base, social cohesion and competitiveness at the same time. So far, both in academic research and in policy advice, these aspects have tended to be separated. The Technology Governance program at Tallinn University of Technology is designed to bridge these gaps and to focus on research, teaching, and advice in an interrelated way.

Our one-year Masters program in Technology Governance is a technology-focused special graduate degree that could be placed in such areas as Innovation Policy, Industrial Policy and Development Economics as a realistic alternative to mainstream ("Standard Textbook") Economics. Our curriculum includes the theory of uneven development and the history of economic policy. In that sense, this is the international Innovation Policy and High-Tech program with a solid foundation in history and theory, embedded in an exciting environment, that so many students and scholars were always looking for yet could not find!

The curriculum

The Technology Governance MA will start in 2006. It is taught partially in modules (intensive, week-long classes) and partially by overarching courses and workshops; there will be many excursions and practical visits. The program culminates in a thesis that is to be completed during the end of the academic year. The academic year runs from 1 September to 31 May, with Christmas holidays from 20 December to 31 January and graduation in June. All courses are in English. The curriculum consists of 60 credits.
