Public Policy and Management (MSc)
MSc in Public Policy and Management—your gateway to a career in the dynamic world of public policy and leadership.
Bridging the gap between policymaking and practice, this course will prepare graduates for leadership roles in the public management field and beyond. You’ll build in-depth skills and knowledge to analyse, critique and shape public policy processes, by learning how they interact with economic, social, political and organisational contexts.
Explore your passion with our range of option modules. Apply your learning in real-world contexts, from delivering policy analysis, leading and managing change, social and ethical leadership for public good, and the use of AI in the management of modern organisations, and more. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to refine your area of interest by taking a deep dive into a policy — or public management — project of your choice.
Enhance your learning in our modern facilities, featuring bespoke teaching, learning and study spaces to help you gain the most from this full or part-time course. You’ll be taught by interdisciplinary staff with extensive policy and management experience, giving you the best of both worlds. They’ve worked as, and with, government advisors, consultants, analysts, researchers and academics.
Campus Information
Campus West
In 1964, work began on the campus facilities in the grounds of Heslington Hall. The marshy land was drained, the winding lake which dominates the campus was built, and the area was landscaped. The original buildings were designed by architects Sir Andrew Derbyshire and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall, with input also from the Vice-Chancellor Lord James, Professor Patrick Nuttgens and the Registrar John West-Taylor. The new structures were assembled using the CLASP system of prefabricated construction, hence York's inclusion among the so-called plate glass universities. The buildings are connected by numerous covered walkways and bridges. Most of the university's arts departments occupy premises in the college buildings, while many of the science departments have their own buildings.
