Overview

During the Public Administration (Applied) degree course offered at Teesside University you develop highly transferrable critical thinking, communication, leadership, and research skills and examine significant policy challenges facing society.

Key Facts

You analytically examine the key issues involved in policy development and public engagement and gain an understanding of the value of considering them together to facilitate successful implementation.

You also consider the development and intersections of key aspects of public policy such as health, welfare, crime, education and housing to prepare you for careers in government, public-private partnerships, and the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors.

The Master of Public Administration (Applied) is of great benefit if you are working within, or seeking to work in the public, public-private and third sectors. You engage critically with policy problems and solutions, and have a chance to apply this learning to a real-world setting through Applied Practice.

Examples of jobs graduates of public administration masters go into include working private sector consultancy, non-governmental organisations, international organisations and public sector employment. The holistic perspective across key policy areas is also vital if you are looking to work in government or local government, as well as the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector.
