O que eu aprenderei?

Introduction

Recent crises have exposed flaws in the policymaking systems of many countries around the world, and very markedly in Ireland. In part, these flaws reflect the technical capacity of policymakers to effectively formulate and implement public policies and analyse potential consequences in complex and evolving circumstances.

This relationship is recognised by the Irish state, the EU, and other international bodies as they attempt to increase the number of professionally qualified policy specialists working with them.

In response DCU is offering a bespoke, interdisciplinary course designed to suit the needs of a new generation of policymakers the MSc in Public Policy is a new type of professional degree with an intellectual base and methodological rigour that reflect the needs of a sector facing more nuanced and complex challenges.

Programme Structure and Content

You’ll take four core modules, and choose two other modules from a suite of options, followed by a Policy Analysis Exercise. An innovative departure from the traditional dissertation, this Policy Analysis Exercise which can be linked to an internship miss an opportunity for you to work, in a team, as a consultant, on real policy problems set by public organisations.

Programme Aims and Objectives

  • Viewing public policy analysis as the technology to the science of social science is central both to the delivery of courses and to student assessment.
  • The course prepares students to perform, understand and communicate professional policy analysis in the public sector and sectors working to it.
  • Along with traditional lectures, the programme employs problem-based learning (PBL) this involves you becoming versed in the most up-to-date aspects of and science behind a relevant discipline, observing these elements in operation by working through case studies, and then using the knowledge gained to solve set problems.

Careers
