From digitalisation to the energy transition, from medicine to the bioeconomy: scientific-technical innovations are intricately linked to societal developments. Are you interested in the reciprocal relationships between science, technology and other fields of social action such as business, politics or the media? Do you want to consider the problems of the present from a new perspective? To meet the complexity of current challenges, we need to draw on the strengths of multiple disciplines: Consequently, the Master’s degree programme “Science, Technology & Society Studies” welcomes Bachelor’s graduates from all disciplines.

The Master’s degree programme “Science, Technology & Society Studies” allows you to identify and critically evaluate the social prerequisites and effects of innovations in science and technology. The degree programme equips you with the necessary skills to evaluate the “hype” surrounding new technologies or scientific breakthroughs. This means that you will be able to mediate public controversies concerning risks, the ethical sensitivity or the social desirability of innovations in many different professional fields –  for example, in promoting research and technology, in political and management consultancy, in international organisations, in media, public relations and cultural work, in technology assessment or in research.

The sphere of science is international, as is the Master’s degree programme “Science, Technology & Society Studies”: The University of Klagenfurt is a member of the pan-European network “European Inter-University Association on Society, Science and Technology”. You can choose to complete one of the specialisations offered at an ESST partner university or write your Master’s thesis there.

You are special. So are we.

This is what makes the degree programme so special

Want to study all over Europe? No problem!

The University of Klagenfurt is a member of the Europe-wide association ‘European Inter-University Association on Society, Science and Technology’ (ESST). As a student in the Master’s programme ‘Science, Technology & Society Studies’, you will benefit from this network. You will be able to complement your Master’s study with a specialization module, and write your Master’s thesis at an ESST partner university. This will give you the opportunity to acquire the ESST Certificate or the ESST Diploma Master of Arts ‘Society, Science and Technology in Europe’ in addition to the Master’s degree from Klagenfurt.

During the programme, you can focus on the following subject areas:

  • Governance, innovation, sustainability: you will examine the ambivalences of science and technology in ongoing controversies and risk debates, for example concerning climate change, food security, health and justice. You will develop skills that enable you to comment critically on approaches to sustainable governance of research and innovation, and to refine approaches in research and innovation.
  • Knowledge, culture, digitalisation: you will learn about the emergence of ‘modern’ science and current developments in scientific organisation and practice. You will engage with epistemic approaches, practices and work environments of different knowledge cultures, as well as with the changing meaning of data, information and communication in the digital age.
  • Democracy, power, politics: you will explore the interrelatedness of science and politics by asking how power relations shape, and are shaped by, knowledge and technology. You will be trained to reflect on, and engage in, political debates on science and technology at the local, regional, national, and international level.
  • Gender & diversity, bodies, identities: you will acquire the skills to uncover the context-dependency of knowledge and technology. This will enable you to identify the characteristics and limits of ethnocentric claims to objective knowledge, and to show how individual and collective identities, in particular gender representations, are constructed, perpetuated, or challenged by science and technology.

Small working groups and optimal teacher-student ratios enable productive exchange between students and lecturers
