Study programmes

The study programme prepares public and social policy professionals with important interdisciplinary overlaps into social practice. Upon graduating from the programme, students have knowledge about policy making processes and the ability to analyze such processes by using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. To propose and evaluate solution designs, the graduates are able to analyse the procedures of design, implementation and evaluation of public policy activities. The graduates are also able to analyse and critically evaluate stakeholders’ intentions and actions in relevant institutional frameworks. Graduates of the Public and Social Policy Studies programme can work in public administration, the civic and business sectors, or political institutions. Their knowledge and skills enable them to effectively and efficiently perform analytical, conceptual, organizational, communicative and managerial tasks in creating and implementing public and social policies within the European and global contexts.
