Gain advanced analytical and conceptual skills, enabling you to critically evaluate politics and public policy in various institutions across the UK and internationally.

The Politics and Public Policy MA programme is designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of policy analysis and governance within a multi-level context – from local to international settings. 

This programme will equip you with the analytical and conceptual skills necessary to critically evaluate politics and public policy at multiple levels of government. It also provides a thorough training in analytical methods and approaches (qualitative and quantitative) used for conducting research in these areas. 

You’ll engage with a diverse range of modules, designed to provide a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding in politics and public policy and allow you to follow your particular interests at the Welsh, UK, European and worldwide levels. You’ll also benefit from our close ties to Wales’ devolved institutions, as well as to the UK and Scottish governments. The school is also home to the Wales Governance Centre, the leading centre for the study of Welsh politics, law and political economy.

Learning activities will include student presentations and group work, designed to refine a range of transferable skills including communication, organisational and interpersonal skills.
