Summary
Suspicion, scandal, and the inevitable rise of political fatigue — in the contested ‘post-truth’ landscape of populist politics and partisan media, the public’s faith in democracy is being sorely tested. You could be a key force in re-establishing that trust, by delivering effective, informed, and inclusive public policies.
Our course is focused on public engagement: what works, why it matters, and how the key models and methods might be reimagined. It’s about reaching people — especially young people — to ensure they’re represented in the decisions that impact their own lives. You’ll explore the trends and theories of the field, and the evolving social patterns of political participation. You’ll consider the barriers to entry in the policymaking space, and propose solutions. Blending theoretical insights with applied, hands-on experience, you’ll work with local civic and community groups to grow your practical, teamworking, and communication skills — all vital qualities for any aspiring advocate or policymaker.
Be the kind of change you want to see. Our course is home to a global community of change-makers, upskillers, and the politically curious. At home and abroad, our graduates are applying their talents in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, as everything from journalists and analysts to lobbyists and policymakers. Your own journey starts here, with us.
This combined MSc Politics and Public Policy course offers you the opportunity to undertake an active and current study of Politics and Public Policy at an advanced level. The course provides you with the skills and knowledge necessary for exploring the link between politics and policymaking today, particularly with respect to the role of various formal and informal actors, processes and institutions which shape democracy and policies affecting daily life.
