Master of Science in Governance, Economics and Public Policy

Program Overview

Following the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a heightened interest in management and British public policy and its influence on the economy and society. Reasons underpinning this interest include high-profile failures in corporate governance; a growing need to demonstrate accountability, transparency and sustainability; and increasing political engagement and activism in relation to policy-making and holding political leaders to account.

Our MSc Governance, Economics and Public Policy - involving Birkbeck’s internationally recognised Departments of Management, Politics, Economics and Geography - addresses these interests. This interdisciplinary course is designed to give you a more comprehensive knowledge of the complex and dynamic relationships between corporate governance, economics and public policy, as well as the relationship between organisations in the public, private and third sectors, and their stakeholders.

If you work in an area of governance and public policy/politics, or if you wish to develop a career within it, and/or are interested in better understanding and influencing governance and policy, this course is ideal. Birkbeck is one of the few institutions in London to offer a postgraduate qualification in this area.
