Master of Arts - International Public Policy

The course takes a critical approach to the study of International Social Policy to provide an advanced understanding of current debates, theories and concepts in a vibrant area of study and research. Drawing on world leading research expertise, students learn to analyse how national and global forces interact to shape the trajectories of welfare system development.

Students will be involved in critical discussions of how welfare states meet human needs and will delve into the enormous challenges posed by social changes. Students will also explore key fields of policy including health, migration, social care and labour market related policy. Methodological training is central to the programme, covering critical thinking and applied qualitative and quantitative technical skills.
