The 100% online MPA Public Policy and Management from the University of York is designed for professionals in the public sector and not-for-profit organisations. It is also well suited to individuals in for-profit organisations involved in public policy or the delivery of public services. Equivalent to an MBA that is specific to public services, it provides you with the knowledge and skills to analyse and influence how policies are made and implemented in an age of increasing complexity.

The flexible design of the programme is ideally suited to busy working professionals, with programme content accessed at the times that suit you. This enables you to study around work, family and other life commitments. It also means that you can continue to work and earn, without needing to take a career break.

You will study in a collaborative online learning environment where you will interact with and learn from fellow professionals from similar fields based all over the world, representing a unique global networking opportunity.

You will be taught and guided by a highly skilled team with a global reputation for its teaching and research. In 2020, the University of York was ranked 10th in the world for social policy and administration in the QS World University rankings, demonstrating the outstanding global credentials of the University in this field.

Career opportunities and progression

This programme is for ambitious professionals working in the public or non-profit sector who aim to further develop their knowledge and skills in the field of public administration and public policy.

York MPA graduates go on to a wide range of roles, including in government, international NGOs and charities, the NHS, leading consultancies and accountancy firms, universities, banks, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
