Warwick MPA:

All over the world governments are launching far-reaching programmes to reform and improve public services. The challenges for managers working in this field are different from those in commerce, which is where a Masters in Public Administration (MPA) can really help.

While an MBA will improve your business understanding, the Warwick MPA is specifically designed to help you address the fundamental changes which are taking place in the public and voluntary sectors, so that you can lead and manage them more effectively. We will help you explore the consequences of these changes for the role, purposes, and nature of democratic governance, public policy, leadership and management.
