MA in Social Policy

Social Policy focuses on how societies support people’s needs and improve overall wellbeing. It looks at the role of governments, organisations, and communities in addressing key social challenges and shaping systems that affect everyday life.

You’ll examine the idea of wellbeing in detail, including who is responsible for creating fair and supportive conditions within society. The course explores important topics such as poverty, social exclusion, population change, family structures, healthcare systems, housing, and homelessness.

For students interested in public policy, social development, and community wellbeing, this field provides a clear understanding of how social systems operate and how meaningful change can be achieved.
