Science Studies is an academic field that deals with scientific theories and hypotheses and can essentially be defined as “knowledge of science”. It explores the various historical, philosophical and social contexts of natural science, and its interaction with society. Science Studies’ main aim is to observe and analyze the dynamics in science, collect information and understand the science system. Science Studies are a multidisciplinary field that generally teaches subjects like Sociology of Science, Science Policy, Governance of Science, Bibliometry, Science Evaluation, Science Management, Science Organization, Science Law, and others. Science Studies is a relatively new field, but it offers fascinating material. Students in Science Studies are encouraged to carry out independent research and thus gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and theories, and develop valuable professional skills like project management, organization, critical-thinking, analysis, debate, evaluation, problem-solving and communication skills. Science Studies graduates can enjoy excellent career prospects in fields like science and technology research, administration of science, science consultancy, academia, business, banking and finance, pharmacy, chemistry, project management, product development and more.
