A programme for students from different backgrounds

The PSTS programme is designed for students with technical and social science backgrounds. This combination of backgrounds is a distinct advantage, as the programme aims to teach you to apply multidisciplinary views and methods to technological artefacts and structures. You will not only learn from your lecturers, but also from your fellow students. 

PSTS has a strong international orientation: many of our lecturers are from abroad and the programme attracts students from all over the world. Students with different academic and cultural backgrounds bring new perspectives to the discussion and can shed a different light on the influence of technology and science on society. 

The programme will introduce you to relevant philosophical theories and methods, the philosophy of technology and the multidisciplinary field of Science, Technology and Innovation Studies. You will begin to acquire your new expertise in the TechnoLab. This is a unique feature of the PSTS approach. It will enable you to apply your own knowledge and learn from your fellow students while working together on a project.
