Gain an advanced understanding of social policy in developed and developing countries.

The course provides essential training for employment across economic sectors at local, regional, national, and international levels where a comprehensive and critical understanding of public policy is important and for further academic research in a social science discipline. Our ambition is to create critical, self-guided public policy scholars that can use their knowledge of comparative public policy quantitatively and qualitatively in a variety of academic and other professional situations.

You'll develop high level understanding of the latest international issues in public policy while also creating a supportive environment for students at different skills levels when it comes to social & public policy theories and English Language. You'll broaden your understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of international public policy developments, challenges and responses, and become aware of debates about the relationship between theory, research and policy/practice.
