The Master of Public Administration programme provides professional development for those already working in the broad field of public services management, or those wishing to develop a career in that area. The MPA programme is particularly relevant for those individuals involved in the delivery and management of services, both within central government and on the ground.
The programme focuses on the organisational and governmental context within which public services are delivered, and the skills required for successful administration of public service programmes. The programme will promote shared learning across sectors (public, private, non-profit), within an international context.
In the summer term, all course participants are required to complete a policy report supported through personal supervision and a support workshop.

York is regularly voted one of the best places to live and visit in the UK. The city was named the best place to live in Britain by The Sunday Times 2018. Our excellent cafés, restaurants and bars, innovative industries and mixture of modern and medieval architecture propelled it to the top of the list. With a population of 200,000, it’s big enough to feel lively but small enough to feel like home.
York is situated only 2 hours away from London and 1 and a half hours away from Manchester by train. The city benefits of some of the best train connections in the country, linking York to every corner of the UK.
