"I am pleased to ...comment on the M.Sc. degree programme in Science, Technology and Sustainability. The programme is an innovative synthesis of management of technology, innovation policy, environmental and development studies. It creatively draws on the resources of environmental science to examine development choices. I believe the programme will be of particular interest to government policy analysts and those intending a career in that direction." Professor Henry Etzkowitz, Director, Science Policy Institute, State University of New York, New York, USA.
"The M.Sc. course in Science, Technology and Sustainability is excellent and will certainly attract many individuals worldwide. The core and elective modules cover a wide range of topics that are of great relevance to sustainable development... Please keep me informed about future developments." Dr Mohammed H.A. Hassan, Executive Director, Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), Trieste, Italy.
"While I am not an expert on the environmental aspect, the course seems to offer a comprehensive and much-needed coverage of the most vital issues in science and technology policy". The late Professor Sanjaya Lall, Professor of Development Economics in the International Development Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford.
"... I found the programme very interesting and got very excited about its objectives. It is a very well thought ensemble of issues that maintain close links with each other." Professor Alejandro Nadal, El Colegio de mexico, Mexico.
"We are quite confident that the programme would give a most valuable response to the more and more pressing need to have policy makers with comprehensive and strong views on the complex implication that the issue of sustainability places on S&T policies" Dr Rolanda Predescu, Head of R&D Policies and Strategic Unit, General Directorate for R&D Strategies and Programmes, Bucharest, Romania.
"I think such a course is very much needed and the mix and academic coherence means that the course should obtain validation." Professor David Wield, Open University, Milton Keyens, England.
"I have reviewed with great interest your post-graduate course in Science, Technology and Sustainability. I find it very pertinent. It addresses and links crucial and challenging issues such as social wellbeing, economic growth and environmental sustainability. It is well-balanced and developed around very relevant core and elective modules, which highlight the crucial need to position the management of science and technology in the context of sustainable development. …There should be no doubt about the need for such a course to help both students and practitioners to gain a better understanding of the interaction between science and technology policy and sustainable development….I also welcome a core module on Research Methods… which would help students gain a better understanding of the research techniques and discuss the need to define a technique appropriate to…science, technology and sustainable development." Professor Mohammed Saad, Professor of Innovation and Technology Management, University of West of England, Bristol, England.
