MPA Innovation, Public Policy and Public Value

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MPA Full-time: 1 year Part-time: 2 years Flexible: up to 5 years

Course Description

The Innovation, Public Policy and Public Value MPA teaches the competencies, capabilities and leadership skills needed for purpose-driven organisations – in public, private and civil sectors – to confront the grand challenges of the 21st century.

There is no equivalent post-graduate degree that combines our alternative approach to policymaking and a focus on structural change and innovation. IIPP’s MPA teaches the dynamic skills required for purpose-driven organisations – in public, private, and civil sectors – to confront the grand challenges of the 21st century. Tackling these challenges requires new ways of thinking and new organisational capabilities.

As a graduate of IIPP’s MPA programme, you will have the skills and confidence to help organisations become more innovative, mission-led, and driven by public purpose. You will understand the explorative and risk-taking processes that innovation requires, and you will be able to challenge and provide alternatives to current policy orthodoxies. By studying with us, you will build a network of like-minded peers and become part of an Institute that is at the forefront of public sector innovation policy and research.

Entry Requirements

UK Bachelor’s degree in an appropriate Arts and Humanities, Social Science and Economics, and Engineering subjects awarded with an Upper Second-class Honours (2:1), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
