Our MSc Public Policy and Management programme provides you with the analytical tools needed to understand the principles and methods of modern public policy and management. There are two pathways to choose from:
MSc Public Policy and Management, General Pathway
MSc Public Policy and Management, Financial Management Pathway
Further details regarding each pathway can be found under the structure section below.
The programme gives you the skills to make financial and policy decisions within the public sector. Through the range of modules, you will gain theoretical knowledge on policy-making, policy implementation and the management of public sector entities.
As well as this, you will have the opportunity to explore specific areas such as the management of human resources in the public sector, the public financial management process, the decentralisation of public functions and the collaboration between public and private entities.
You should have a recognised UK Bachelor's degree, or international equivalent, in a social science discipline. Qualifications in other subjects will be assessed on their merits. Your application may be considered if you have previous education and experience, equivalent to a degree-level qualification, which includes suitable preliminary training. All international applicants must be able to show that their English is of a high enough standard to successfully engage with and complete their course at SOAS.
