Course summary

The programme aims to develop the next generation of world-leading interdisciplinary scholars in economic and public policy, the economics of innovation and innovation policy and its governance. A key goal of the programme is to prompt doctoral researchers to blend and synthesise different disciplinary tools to offer truly interdisciplinary analysis on how public and economic policy and innovation can be harnessed to tackle global challenges. Our MPhil/PhD programme is centred on fostering path-breaking research into ways to understand public value and public purpose in the context of innovation and public policies supporting innovation and public and economic policy. It brings together economists, philosophers, political scientists, designers, architects, anthropologists, and natural scientists. The PhD involves independent research over a 3-4 year period for full time students, with mandatory research methods training in the first year. Students will be supervised by a minimum of two supervisors, the primary supervisor being at IIPP. The supervisors will have regular meetings with you to update on progress and provide feedback on written work and guidance on relevant literature, research design and methods. The subsidiary may be at IIPP or another department at UCL. Important feedback will also be provided by peers within the department and we encourage students to present papers at conferences.
