Master of Public Administration (MPA)

Do you want to lead change, and help to change the world for the better? Our Master of Public Administration (MPA) degrees will provide you with the skills needed to work at the interface between science, technology, engineering and public policy.

Our MPA programmes will help you to understand the conceptual frameworks, interdisciplinary evidence, policymaking tools and analytical methods needed to develop innovative science and engineering policies. You will learn how policies are implemented, and how evidence is generated and governed to support appraisal and evaluation. 

Within the Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP), we have five MPA programmes, allowing you to specialise in your chosen subject of interest within the field of science, technology, engineering and public policy.
