The Master of Public Administration is the most-widely recognized professional graduate management qualification for the public and third sectors. Teesside's Master of Public Administration (MPA) gives students the professional skills needed for careers in local, regional and national government, and the public, public-private, and not-for-profit sectors.
The course deepens students' understanding of the policy process, research methods, and contemporary issues in the public, public-private and third sectors.
The MPA combines the core study of public administration alongside practical and contemporary examples from cognate disciplines such as public policy, politics, international relations and law. By considering overlapping public administration and policy discussions, this course takes a holistic approach applying key theories, literature and debate to everyday practice. Students also consider the development and intersections of key aspects of public policy such as health, welfare, crime, education and housing to prepare them for careers in government, public-private partnerships, and the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sectors.
