Imre Bárd is a graduate of the Social Research Methodology PhD program at the London School of Economics.

His thesis studied the social representation of human enhancement technologies in different social milieus. Imre holds an MSc in Sociology from LSE, and a degree in Philosophy from the University of Vienna.
