Programme

A Joint Honours Degree is a combination of two different subjects: students study 50% of one subject and 50% of another. Public Policy can currently be combined with Law.

Public policy and government impact on everybody. Issues such as health, education or the influence of Europe affect us all. This course draws on politics, sociology, social policy and business fundamentals to provide an understanding of the processes involved. There are opportunities to explore how globalisation, the environment or technical change affect policy, and to examine issues involved in strategic decision making or the relationship between government and business.
