The pathway is highly interdisciplinary, spanning social and natural sciences, arts and humanities, and engineering. The departments that contribute to the pathway all seek to solve global, real-world challenges and problems and to design new context-specific modes of governance. The Science and Technology Studies, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy training routes focus on the role of science and technology in society. The pathway addresses the ESRC politics and governance priority, interacts with multiple UBEL pathways and groups and has extensive international partnerships.
