Public Policy & Management MSc

About

Whether you are a social science graduate or a working professional, the MSc in Public Policy & Management will provide the skills you need to evaluate & develop policy options for public services. Our course is an advanced interdisciplinary programme covering the management, organisation, funding, administration, and delivery of public services, with a focus on how policies are designed, developed, and implemented. You will develop key analytical skills and learn how to identify, tackle and solve problems relating to public service management, using appropriate methodologies and research techniques. This MSc offers the chance to explore key public service policy functions, such as public service organisation, health policy, economics, social entrepreneurship and leadership. We focus not just on political theory and economic analysis, but also on people management and organisation within public services, giving students a thorough and diverse base of knowledge and skills.

Comparative approach - we take a comparative approach to policy & management studies, emphasising comparisons between both the UK and international systems of government.

Comprehensive sector analysis - you will examine contemporary developments & advanced research relating not only to the traditional 'public sector' but also the voluntary, not-for-profit, or Third Sector (NGOs, charities, social enterprises).

Learn from practitioners as well as expert academics - we offer students the opportunity to discuss policy and implementation with experienced practitioners in the public policy field.

Work while you study - our course is specially structured for part-time students, so you can work and gain valuable experience while you study.

Exclusive pre-sessional courses - we have dedicated refresher courses in Economics, Maths and Statistics, available for students who have not previously studied these at an advanced level.
