Overview

Policy design has many different aspects that impact people and society. The world needs individuals like you who can connect facts and values, offering solutions to both common and complex problems.

These skills are now more crucial than ever and form the core of our curriculum. By merging ethics, science, and policy, you study policy making and analyse arguments for and against proposals, strengthening the case for change. Join the Ethics, Science, and Policy program at Linköping University.

Career opportunities

Upon successful completion of studies, you will be well prepared for careers in various policy areas as well as eligible for further studies and research at doctoral level. Job market opportunities lie above all in planning, development, management, and evaluation work, e.g., in the private and public sector within both national and international organisations.
