The MPA programme in the Department of Political Science offers an applied, problem-based approach, blending new theoretical developments and practice, with a view to managing public policies domestically and overseas. The MPA aims to provide participants with the practical tools and the academic knowledge that public policy managers need to implement effectively and successfully achieve their agendas.
The MPA offers a balanced coverage of a wide range of public administration topics, with a strong focus on managing public services and leadership skills. Participants are exposed to public affairs challenges usually faced by public organisations, or related non-profit and private firms. The programme's curricular structure and real-world fieldwork opportunities foster the managerial skills needed to meet today's greater demands for accountability and success from public, non-profit, and private organisations. Examples of some themes of focus include:
- Characteristics of Multilevel Governance
- Organisational arrangements to implement public policies, such as public-private partnerships, networks, public agencies, among others.
- Interpretation of the economics of public policy
- Cost/Benefit Analysis
- Managing public services
- Leadership in public, private and non-profit organisations
- Policy Evaluation
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of two core modules (60 credits), four optional modules (60 credits), and a dissertation (60 credits).
Upon successful completion of 180 credits, you will be awarded a MPA in Public Administration and Management.
