Understand the forces that shape society and develop the knowledge and skills to influence them.
This course explores issues, concepts and debates in social and public policy research, and how government decisions shape society and affect people’s everyday lives.
On this course, you’ll engage with social theories, issues and research methods relevant to social and public policy. You’ll understand how policies are developed, analysed and evaluated. You’ll examine real-world issues such as work and welfare, migration, family and child policy, and the challenges of ageing populations, with a focus on real-life examples.
An MA in Social and Public Policy from Leeds prepares you for a career in which understanding social change and influencing decision-making matter.
You could go on to work in central and local government, charities, NGOs, think tanks, international organisations, research, policy analysis and advocacy.
