Overview
Our MA Applied Social Policy and Practice programme provides students with the conceptual knowledge, theories and principles central to social policy making and social welfare service provision.
The applied, inter-disciplinary nature of this programme enables students to develop social research skills and specialist study in related areas of policy interest (for example education, health, housing, and immigration).
Students are able to understand and contextualise UK social policy within broader European Union (EU) and international policy frameworks. Students are equipped with practical and transferable research and analytical skills needed for developing policy responses to service delivery provision.
