Course Overview

What you'll study?

The MSc Politics and Public Policy has been designed to provide a challenging contemporary curriculum that

reflects the link between politics and policymaking. It also provides you with a powerful sense of the development of thought in the subjects and also enables you to obtain an advanced understanding and practice of a range of methods and methodologies available to support research.

The course joins existing provisions and is a collaboration between the MA Politics and MSc Public Policy offered within the Department of Politics and International Relations, enabling students to access a wide range of specialized knowledge.

The course may serve as an appropriate pathway to doctoral studies for those who may wish to advance in academia. It will provide you with the opportunity to take part in exciting contemporary discussions of politics and public policy, not only focusing on core theoretical concepts but also on key trends and developments. It is designed to promote deep knowledge, understanding, and experience of both domestic and international political institutions, processes, actors—including the public—and how they influence the policy process and its outcomes.
