MSc Policy and Global Affairs
As our global society becomes ever more interconnected and complex, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how our lives are shaped by the forces of local, national and international organisations, institutions and governments.
The policies they produce can have significant effects on society, demonstrating the need to not only understand these forces but be able to critically appraise and engage with them.
This course aims to provide you with the theoretical knowledge of policy making, and the ability to design and implement policy in the real world.
