Our MA Comparative programme offers a combination of taught coursework and a supervised dissertation, giving you the opportunity to develop detailed knowledge of social policy in a comparative and international context and to examine, through your own guided research project, aspects of social policy in which you have a particular interest. The programme is especially targeted at people seeking to develop a career in social and/or policy research.
