Careers

"I came away from my year studying Public Policy at Bristol University with a fresh perspective of how policymaking works from the street-level up to the international stage."

"The critical thinking and analytical skills I acquired as a result of the programme has allowed me a wider and deeper perspective, knowledge and insight in to the policy process, management, and leadership."

"The topics covered in the units Public Management and Organisations, and Power, Politics and the Policy Process most closely link to my professional experience, and I’ve found myself revisiting my lecture notes on a range of issues including contracting, innovation and policy transfer."

"I still refer to the knowledge I gained on the unit on Economics in Public Policy to identify the ways in which economics can be applied to policy analysis."

"The teaching staff were genuinely committed to giving constructive student feedback and there was a strong focus on continual and iterative learning."

"I strongly believe that my last year studying for an MSc in Public Policy in University of Bristol was one of the best decisions in my entire life."

"It was both tough and rewarding. I never felt alone as all the staff at the School for Policy Studies were highly supportive – from my personal tutor to my dissertation supervisor."
