Subject: Masters in International Social Policy
> The University of Bath is launching a new Masters Programme in
> International Social Policy, commencing in September 2007.
>
> The programme includes both the comparative analysis of social policy
> developments in different countries and world regions, and the analysis of
> global social policy-making at the supra-national level. It gives central
> attention to the links between social policy and economic development,
> including the rise of knowledge-based economies and the new risks of
> insecurity with which globalisation is associated.
>
> The programme comprises a mix of compulsory and optional modules taken
> over two semesters, followed by a dissertation, enabling students to
> tailor their degree to suit their specific interests. There will be a
> number of joint activities with international organisations and with
> partner universities in Europe, East Asia and elsewhere.
>
> The Department of Social and Policy Sciences is one of the leading
> research centres in social policy in Britain. It has an international
> reputation, having been rated excellent in teaching and Grade 5 in the
> most recent Research Assessment Exercise.
>
