Public Administration

• Distance Learning Masters in Public Administration (MPA) 

Both of these courses take a minimum of two years to complete, 18 months for the six taught modules and six months for the dissertation.

If students wish to take longer on the programme, they can move into a later intake or they can take longer on the dissertation. The course must be completed within four years.

Our distance learning MPhil and PhD degrees offer the opportunity to pursue original research under the guidance of an academic supervisor in a more convenient manner for those unable to live and work on campus on a regular basis.  Applications to study for research degrees on a part-time basis are welcomed.
