The Master of Public Administration (MPA) equips modern public managers and policy-makers with the skills needed to make a decisive contribution to contemporary governance and policy. This MPA is delivered jointly between the School of Media, Culture & Society and the School of Business & Enterprise. The MPA combines the study of political science and public policy with leading edge scholarship in public sector management and strategy. The MPA is offered as a full master's degree, but modules can also be followed individually and used to contribute to a post graduate diploma (120 credits) or post graduate certificate (60 credits). In London, the MPA modules are delivered in teaching blocks; taught every second week of the month.
