Master of Arts in Social Policy and Law

Program Overview

This popular joint degree programme provides a grounding in both Social Policy and Law, two subjects which complement and enrich each other.

The joint MA in Social Policy and Law aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of Law.

Social Policy at the University of Edinburgh will enable you to engage with confidence in many of the political debates of our time.

We deal with a wide array of policy areas, for example:

  • health
  • welfare
  • labour markets
  • education
  • family and childhood

We discuss how policies affect our civic culture through studying political engagement and citizen participation.

Our programme will equip you with the knowledge to understand how policies affect society and the economy, but it will also enable you to critically assess how policies are made and what actors and processes influence the policy making process.
