Public Administration (Taught)

• Our MPA develops knowledge and skills for managers facing complex problems in the public sector and beyond, equipping students with advanced analytical and decision-making skills.

• We offer a range of tailored modules, with practical, problem-centred teaching informed by world-leading research. The MPA prepares students for a career in public management but also provides knowledge which will be useful beyond the public sector.

• Our department is an international community, with recent students from the Republic of Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the USA and Turkey, as well as the UK.

• E integrate academic skill development into the core MPA modules to support international students who can also improve their English Language through our on-campus partners at the International Study Centre.

• If you are currently in a government role with a training sabbatical, we also offer a special (full-time) MPA with Applied Study (21 months) which involves a further in-depth policy project and additional training and learning.
