Science in Society (SiS) is a collaborative programme (60 EC) of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). It teaches students how to identify, analyse and manage complex societal problems. The programme is concluded with an internship in which the student applies the acquired knowledge and skills.
After completing this programme, you earn a regular Master of Science (MSc) degree in your current field, with this programme as specialisation. Former students of Science in Society currently work, for instance, as consultants, policy-makers, researchers or entrepreneurs at the interface of science, technology and society.
