Science, Technology, and Policy at Yonsei University examines the relationship between scientific and technological development and the policies that govern and respond to it. Students typically study the fundamentals of science and technology alongside coursework in public policy, economics, and law, learning how governments and institutions regulate innovation, manage emerging technologies, and set research priorities. Case studies covering topics such as environmental policy, technology governance, and innovation systems are commonly used to help students understand how policy decisions shape and are shaped by scientific advances. The interdisciplinary nature of the field means students often work across departments, combining technical literacy with analytical and communication skills. Graduates pursue careers in policy research, government agencies, science communication, and technology consulting, as well as roles within research institutions and international organizations focused on science and innovation policy. Some continue into graduate study in public policy, science and technology studies, or related fields, while others apply their training within technology companies working on regulatory or strategic issues. This bachelor's degree is offered by Yonsei University, located in the Seodaemun-gu district of Seoul, South Korea. The program runs for eight semesters, or four years, with intake in March or September. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing international students to study science and technology policy without needing to first learn Korean. The program is designed to prepare graduates who can bridge technical and policy-oriented work.
