Policy Evaluation

Summary

Institutions and organisations are increasingly demanding evidence-based policy formation. However, there are few graduates with the necessary training to engage in policy evaluation and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) techniques to provide that “evidence”. As a result, there is a high demand for graduates who can critically understand and evaluate policies and social interventions in areas such as health and social care, criminal justice, international development, and inequality and poverty.

The MSc in Policy Evaluation meets this demand by equipping you with the skills necessary to provide effective policy evaluation and programme M&E for government and third sector organisations, working in both domestic and international contexts.

You will acquire advanced skills in quantitative methods and analysis and research design, along with the theoretical and conceptual understanding of policymaking and programme implementation required to put M&E into practice across a wide array of contexts. Further, you will develop a critical and informed understanding of policy evaluation, an appreciation for the need for specific M&E skills, and the knowledge on how they might be best utilised across an array of work environments.

You can choose to complete a traditional dissertation for your final project or elect to work with a partner organisation to produce a real M&E project. Previous students have worked with the local government, a non-profit organisation, or within the University itself on their final project.
