I really appreciate the help I received from our lecturers and programme administrator during that one year's highly intensive programme. Thanks to their guidance and help in all aspects, I could focus on my studies, and fully utilise every resource from Cambridge.
“With a background in electrical and electronic engineering, I came to Cambridge to enhance my knowledge skills in management, policy analysis and decision-making. The Technology Policy programme provided me with a chance to choose diverse courses from a wide range of topics in energy, manufacturing, IT, public policy, business strategy, etc.
“More importantly, at Cambridge I met a group of people who had similar backgrounds and interests to me; people who had been studying or working in nature, science or engineering for many years and were now aiming to explore a wider field in strategic or political areas in order to influence and change the world with technology but more than just technology.”
