MSc Public Policy in Edinburgh United Kingdom | The University of Edinburgh

The MSc Public Policy program explores both theoretical frameworks and practical approaches to policy analysis and implementation, emphasizing hands-on learning through case studies.

What influences government policy choices at international, national, and local levels? How do these choices affect and interact with societal and economic systems?

Concentrating particularly on social and economic policies central to contemporary welfare systems, the MSc Public Policy provides in-depth knowledge about the political, social, and economic dimensions of governance in modern societies.

Housed within the School of Social and Political Science, this program leverages the School's diverse expertise in various public policy domains, examining issues from local to global scales.
