This ESRC and Erasmus Mundus recognised course provides training in research methods and an in-depth knowledge of public administration and public policy-making in advanced industrial societies.
It seeks to protect and develop that specialized sub-field of political science known as public administration and public policy by training a future generation of researchers and as such it provides the perfect foundation for those wishing to pursue a career in academia, policy advice, lobbying, political research or journalism.
The course aims to furnish students with: an understanding of the complex issues surrounding the formation, implementation and evaluation of public policy; a grasp of the international and domestic institutional contexts which shape the policy making process; and, specialist expertise of the theoretical, and, methodological concerns of high quality research in public policy and administration.
