We are pleased to announce that the Department of Social and Policy Sciences at the University of Bath has funding to support new applicants on our part-time, distance-learning master’s course.

The MSc in Public Policy offers you the opportunity to delve into how public policy is made, what shapes it, and how policymakers can make a difference. It explores the political, economic and social dynamics and forces that influence contemporary public policy issues, and will enable you to think creatively about public policy design and delivery, and your role within it.

The value of the scholarship is £4,000. This will be applied as a discount on your tuition fees (for 2019/20 this is £5,300 per year). There are two scholarships available.
