Learn the science of policymaking and how it impacts our聽society

At 糖心logo, social science and policy is a broad area of study聽that looks at the methods used to study social issues and the policy interests of our community. Academics in this field are concerned with research methods and social policy聽analysis聽to develop deeper insights into the decisions and forces of influence that shape action within specific policy fields.

Policymaking plays a vital role in managing change across society, offering a set of tools and mechanisms for coordinating complex environments. Policy structures reflect stakeholder interests throughout civil society and is an area of contest and debate in democratic societies.
