Overview

Education Policy from University of York, you'll be able to analyse, critique and shape public policy, from the definition of policy problems and the formulation of policy interventions to their implementation and explore contemporary issues in education policy and practice through a comparative view on a range of international cases to apply your high-level analytical and problem-solving skills to the key area of education policy.

Key facts

The achievement of diverse educational goals depends not only on effective practices but also on the existence of enabling education policy frameworks. And to develop such policy frameworks, leaders in education need a detailed and multifaceted understanding of policy processes and their complex interactions with economic, social and political contexts.

You will build key professional skills in research, collaboration and communication. And your independent research project, at the end the programme, provides an opportunity for the in-depth exploration of an applied policy-related topic of your choice, enabling you to transfer the acquired knowledge, insights and skills to your professional life.
