Careers

After your studies you will have a wide range of opportunities for your future career. You can work as a researcher, analyst or policy advisor with a unique collection of knowledge and skills. You will be able to bridge the gap between data analysts and policy, using your technical expertise to connect with specialist IT professionals and use their social knowledge to collaborate with other professionals such as policymakers and implementers.
This programme will train the next generation of behavioural experts to guide policy decision making. They will be unique in that they can combine deep understanding of complexity science and modelling with a savvy insight into how to effectively steer relevant data into the policy processes.
