Government Studies MA
Through the Strand Group, the Policy Institute offers a Government Studies MA – the only course of its kind to focus on British government that goes beyond the theory to apply an in-depth perspective on the personalities, policies and process involved in running the British state. Students will delve into real-life case studies and hear from the people who work within government, becoming familiar with the decision-making process in the turbulent 20th and 21st centuries. You’ll study a range of pioneering modules delivered in partnership with organisations like No. 10 Downing Street and HM Treasury and learn from renowned practitioners and policymakers, such as former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, alongside leading academics at the forefront of their fields.
PhD in Applied Public Policy
The Policy Institute also offers a PhD in Applied Public Policy focused on investigating, understanding and helping to solve real-world social problems. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate with a range of organisations across the public, voluntary sectors and private sectors, and to learn and use a variety of methods ranging from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed approaches. The focus of the doctorate is on applied research that helps to shape policy and practice and achieves lasting impacts in the world, while preparing students for future careers in academia, think tanks, or governments.
