Course summary
About This Course
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.
Careers
The welfare and health sectors form the primary field of employment for graduates. Other areas of the public service also attract social policy graduates. A PhD can lead to a career in teaching and research. Apart from this, a social science qualification opens up a multitude of job opportunities related to politics and the media, or for business and social enterprises.
