Politics & Government Public Policy Edinburgh United Kingdom On Campus

About the course

Programme description

The MSc Public Policy covers both the theories and approaches to understanding and engaging with policy work, as well as applying these theories and approaches to policy making in a practice-oriented way through case study learning.

What are the factors that shape the policy decisions taken by governments at supranational, national and local levels? How do these decisions interact and impact on society and on the economy?

Answering such questions effectively requires an interdisciplinary understanding of the field of public policy, drawing insights especially from politics, social policy, sociology and economics.
