This two-year programme equips early-stage professionals with a comprehensive understanding of public administration and policy analysis through a powerful combination of core skills training with practical, real world experience.
In your first year, you’ll complete rigorous empirical training, with a focus on economics, political science and quantitative methods. In Year 2, you’ll work on a real-world policy challenge through a six-month Capstone consultancy project with an external client – equipping you with practical experience for your future career.
In addition, optional courses allow you to tailor your studies to your strengths and interests and you can also choose a specialism (which can be added to your degree title). MPA students may also apply to study at one of three partner universities in their second year of study, as part of the Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) dual degree scheme.
The MPA attracts students from many different nationalities and wide-ranging academic and professional backgrounds. Our diverse community of students and academics contribute rich and varied perspectives to public policy topics and debates.
You’ll also benefit from LSE School of Public Policy’s (SPP) emphasis on practical training by placing policy in practice through our regular seminar events with policy practitioners, our Professional Skills Accelerator and our alumni mentorship scheme and networking events.
Graduates will be equipped with the analytical and professional skills to effectively understand and address the challenges of contemporary governance and make an immediate impact for employers in public, private and non-profit organisations around the world.
LSE opened its doors in 1895 with three rooms and 200 students. Today more than 11,000 students study for degrees at our central London campus, while more than 40,000 more learn on campus or remotely.
But while much has changed, one thing remains constant: our commitment to the original vision of LSE, as ‘a community of people and ideas, founded to know the causes of things, for the betterment of society’.
As we look to the future, we do it as an internationally renowned institution, with a reputation for excellence in teaching, research and public engagement in the social sciences.
What happens at the School has the potential to be world-changing – and in these turbulent times, the social sciences are needed more than ever.
As a proud LSE alumna, I am incredibly honoured to have the responsibility of leading the School and helping to shape its future.
I relish the opportunity for LSE to lead by example through the coming years, and to use our unique strengths to actively contribute to positive change in the world.
