It’s an exciting time to study social policy! The world is changing rapidly with political, economic, and technological developments that impact on everyone’s life. On this MA in Social Policy we’ll explore some of the key issues, concepts, and debates of our time, such as poverty and inequality; welfare and social insecurity; economic crises and democracy; the role of the state; automation; work and leisure; and migration, global governance, and institutions. Policies and practices within and across societies will be compared.
You’ll look at topics that investigate social theories, issues, and research methods relevant to social policy and sociology. Ethical dimensions of social policies will be highlighted, and specialist research training provided. In the dissertation you’ll concentrate on a sustained research project following your personal interest under expert supervision.
