    Policy and Global Affairs MSc Course overview

    Benefits of this course

    As our global society becomes ever more interconnected and complex, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how our lives and the lives of others are shaped by the forces of local, national and international organisations, institutions and governments.

    The policies they produce and actions they take can have huge consequences on our societies and as such, it is vital that we are equipped to not only understand these forces but be able to critically appraise and engage with them,

    The MSc Policy and Global Affairs is designed to equip you with both the fundamental theoretical knowledge around the key stakeholders in policy making, and also give you the skills necessary to design and implement these policies in the real world.

    The programme is designed to offer students a broad suite of academic areas to focus on, ranging from the economic aspects of policy, to the role power dynamics in policy creation and the function of media in activist campaigns.
