This specialist master's course is specifically designed for working professionals. It combines online and intensive residential teaching.

By exploring how public policy is made, what shapes it, and how public policy professionals can make a difference, you’ll prepare for a range of policy-related roles. These span the public, voluntary and private sectors.

You’ll learn from academics with real-world experience in the formulation of public policy. Their teaching will be influenced by contemporary UK and worldwide case studies and research to give you an up-to-date global perspective on the role public policy plays in decision-making.

On the course, you will:

  • investigate the political, economic and social dynamics that affect contemporary public policy
  • examine how data and evidence in the digital environment are re-shaping how public policy is analysed, made and practised
  • learn how to combine theory and practice to advance creative approaches for policy design and delivery
  • develop your own policy specialism with the option to undertake work-related projects as part of your studies
