Our MSc in Public Management will provide you with an opportunity to develop your understanding of governance and the challenges of improving performance and co-ordinating public services with governmental processes. This programme provides an opportunity for you to develop your understanding of public sector governance and the challenges of improving performance and co-ordinating public services and governmental processes. You will reflect on the changing demands affecting public organisations locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, building your knowledge base, leadership skills and self-confidence.

Who is this course for?

This programme will build knowledge, skills and confidence for careers in the public service, government and associated sectors. It is for experienced practitioners from the public and voluntary sectors and also those wishing to embark on a career in public service. The programme adopts a comparative context and is appropriate for UK based and international students.

Careers

Typical paths include career progression within the public sector with the participant’s aspirations being more saleable with a supporting qualification. Transferability of skills also supports participants to change organisations or pathways within public and related sectors.

The qualifications will also support postgraduates seeking an entirely new career within the public sector, such as management.
