Policy Evaluation and Research Engineering Program Spring 2020 Semester - London

The module provides an introduction to the fields of policy and research and has a strong emphasis on the development of practical skills. The increased focus by both Government and academics on evidence based policy will be explored leading to an examination of the relationship between research and policy and the processes of policy development and policy evaluation. Students will develop an understanding of the research process and have the opportunity to develop the skills and techniques required to undertake and evaluate research. The module will require the student to elaborate and apply an appropriate methodology to address an agreed research aim in relation to a relevant planning or regeneration related policy
