Description
Students in this subject develop both the analytical and practical skills needed to engage critically with policy-making processes and navigate policy in local, national and international contexts. Enquiry-based approaches allow students to consider a number of different policy areas (crime, environment, equity, education) that have significant international dimensions and develop their skills to facilitate and influence informed decision-making. Students apply theory to real world debates and policies.
