MSc Public Policy
What is public policy? Who is it shaped by? Which institutions are involved? What impact does it have on an economic, social and cultural environment that is increasingly globalised?
This programme investigates the international public policy environment in terms of the global political economy and the impact of business, voluntary sector and public policy agents in the field of multi-level governance.
It is intended for those who aspire to pursue professional career options, including policy planning, policy consultancy and policy officer positions for large and medium institutions and policy consultancy.
As well as considering generic policy concerns, the programme gives you an opportunity to choose from a range of substantive policy issues, such as the economics of public policy, poverty and social exclusion, penal policy, migration, asylum and sustainability. Every unit considers policy in an international and comparative context.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria
To be considered for admission to a master's degree program at the University of Bristol, the minimum requirement for entry is an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree that is equivalent to a UK upper second-class degree (also known as a 2:1).
- We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
- The majority of our master’s programs require a first-class degree (60% or higher) from a recognized Indian University, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programs may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, please contact us.
- We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first-class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
- Applicants wishing to be considered for a research study at Bristol should have a first-class pass in their Indian bachelor’s degree and some research experience. It may also be advantageous to have completed a master’s degree with research elements.
