The Master of Public Administration is the most widely recognised graduate management qualification within public and third sectors. It combines public administration, sociology, politics, public policy and law. The MPA is attractive to sectors including local and national government, the civil service, private and public sector consultancy, NGOs, and international organisations.The Applied route allows you to develop practice-based experience by providing the opportunity to spend one semester completing an internship, research or study abroad experience.You develop highly transferrable critical thinking, communication, leadership, and research skills and examine significant policy challenges facing society.You analytically examine the key issues involved in policy development and public engagement and gain an understanding of the value of considering them together to facilitate successful implementation.You also consider the development and intersections of key aspects of public policy such as health, welfare, crime, education and housing to prepare you for careers in government, public-private partnerships, and the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors.
You need a lower second class honours degree in a humanities, social science, law, business or management subject area as a minimum – or equivalent professional experience in a relevant field. We may consider mature students without a degree if you can demonstrate appropriate professional experience and/or other relevant qualifications, such as three years in a public, public-private, or third-sector role with evidence of management responsibilities.
