Course Overview

The MA Public Policy at Leeds Beckett University examines how governments and public organisations develop, implement, and evaluate policies addressing social, economic, and environmental challenges. Students study policy analysis, governance, public administration, political institutions, economics, leadership, research methods, and public sector management.

Practical policy projects strengthen critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and evidence-based decision-making skills. The programme prepares graduates for careers in government departments, public administration, policy consultancy, non-governmental organisations, international agencies, and public sector leadership.
