About our programmes
MSc study in the Department of Social Policy reflects an approach to analysis of social and public policy that is international, interdisciplinary and applied. Taught by some of the leading researchers in their fields, our programmes draw on our particular strengths in international and comparative social and public policy, development, education, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), migration, criminology, behavioural public policy, and social policy research. They enable you to specialise in these areas, while providing you with a strong grounding in the core concerns of social and public policy and equipping you with the analytical skills to evaluate social and public policies.
