Strathclyde, University of, MSc, International Public Policy

The University's decision to merge the former faculties of Education and Law, Arts & Social Sciences and create a new, unified faculty was driven by the desire to maximise the potential for research collaboration and staff and student interaction across the humanities and social sciences fields. The new Faculty is therefore structured somewhat differently from a traditional university faculty - there are no departments, instead activities are managed strategically and integrated across the entire Faculty, allowing us to be more responsive to student needs and market opportunities, and share good practice across the Faculty.
The MSc in International Public Policy provides students with a thorough understanding of the formulation of public policy in international affairs. The MSc in International Public Policy has the following features:

• Explores the function of global politics, international institutions and social movements in contemporary policy-making
• Equips graduates with a range of key transferable skills in designing research in the area of international public policy, conducting and disseminating such research
• Masters students receive considerable time and attention from our staff in small-group seminars and individual supervision sessions
