Course summary

Join the next generation of world-leading interdisciplinary scholars in economic and public policy, innovation policy and its governance. The Innovation and Public Policy MPhil/PhD prompts doctoral researchers to blend and synthesise different tools to offer truly interdisciplinary analyses on how public and economic policy and innovation can be harnessed to tackle global challenges. This route is an interdisciplinary Doctoral Research Programme focusing on rethinking innovation in the context of public value creation. The programme aims to develop the next generation of world-leading interdisciplinary scholars in innovation, industrial policy, public sector governance and public policy. The PhD focuses on providing you with a bespoke programme of scholarly development designed to improve applied conceptual, theoretical and analytical skills. Its key goal is to prompt you as a doctoral researcher to blend and synthesise different disciplinary tools to offer truly interdisciplinary analysis on how innovation can be harnessed to tackle global challenges. There are no formal subject-based entry requirements for this route, however you should have a strong academic background and clear evidence of interest in your chosen topic. The UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose is a policy-oriented institute, and we recognise the importance of our PhD students in contributing new knowledge to areas of policy research. As such, we bring together economists, philosophers, political scientists, designers, architects, anthropologists, and natural scientists to undertake research that rethinks innovation in the context of public value creation. Applicants should be highly self-motivated, have a master’s degree and a passionate interest in a topic relevant to the Institute's research areas (see section on ‘Research areas and structure’), and some experience of independent research.
