Empower yourself to skillfully lead organisations and implement policies at domestic and international levels on this MPA. You’ll dive into problem-based learning, addressing the realities and challenges of high-level governance. Take forward a deep understanding of management theories and the distinctive features of public, private and non-profit sectors – plus first-hand experience of the tools you’ll need to deliver positive change. To be effective in policy implementation and leadership of organisations, managers require knowledge of management theories and skills, but, at the same time, require an understanding of the distinctive features of each of the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The MPA programme blends these two, combining the management knowledge and skills typically taught in business schools with an understanding of public policies typically conveyed in traditional public policy degrees. It takes a problem-based approach, combining the latest scholarship and practice, to prepare students to think creatively and to innovate in an ever more complex and constantly evolving multi-actor governance environment.
