This degree looks at how societies conceptualise and respond to need. It will equip you with the knowledge to succeed in management roles, particularly with organisations that respond to issues such as poverty and inequality, health, drug use, crime and education. The degree will help you to cultivate strength in critical thinking, workload management, IT skills and research skills.

Both the School for Policy Studies and the School of Management encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond in their teaching to new research.

Management and social policy are fields that draw on a variety of disciplines, so you will have a rich and varied choice of topics to study. You will have the opportunity to examine the role of international governmental and non-governmental organisations in making, challenging and implementing policy, drawing on insights from philosophy, politics and psychology.
