student views.

The Masters in Public Administration is run from the School of Business and Management. All compulsory and elective modules
will be taught by academic staff in the school.
Staff working on the programme in the School will select applicants.
A full initial induction day dedicated exclusively for MPA students, led by academic and administrative staff in the School, will
begin the programme for each incoming cohort in September.
The programme follows the same oversight procedure within the School as the MSc programmes do, through the Director of
Taught Postgraduate Programmes.
An MPA student representative will be elected from each cohort of students to provide direct and regular feedback to the
programme director and the Director of Taught Postgraduate Programmes.
