Labour market

Our experience shows that PSTS graduates are competent in analysing and evaluating the impact of science and technology on society from a philosophical and multidisciplinary perspective. Knowledge of actual technological developments combined with the skills to philosophically and methodically reflect on those technologies equips our graduates with wide-ranging expertise. This is a professional profile that is highly valued both in the corporate world and by government institutions. Our graduates are professionals that find employment in the academic world, R&D, consultancy, policy organizations, and commercial companies. The PSTS study advisor will assist students in planning their careers after graduating.

-	Policy making / Government. Some Dutch examples: Cogem, Rathenau Institute.
