Shih-Ya Chang from Taichung, Taiwan
MSc Science and Technology Policy (2019-20)
I chose the University of Sussex and the Science and Technology Policy program because of the reputation of SPRU (Science Policy Research Unit), and the generous scholarship that Sussex has offered for international students. I switched the major after working in the academic and developed the interest in interdisciplinary studies of science and technology. The teaching system at the University of Sussex has a strong tradition in interdisciplinary research and training. Those features made me interested in the University of Sussex in the first place.
During the study, I found that the course design and the approach in the Science and Technology Policy program emphasize critical thinking and practical application at the same time, which is useful for the career at the academic as well as the industry. The environment of courses is open and friendly, encouraging the student to speak out different perspectives. SPRU also organizes seminars weekly, the topics and lecturers are diverse. The design of seminars allows students to approach new fields and ideas.
In the future, I would like to join the consultant company in the environmental or energy field, as well as help the collaboration between different actors. I believe the program in Sussex provides me useful knowledge, frameworks, and skills to achieve this goal.
