Description

Designed to provide students with experience in dealing with 'real world' policy problems through a series of case studies on topics drawn from current policy issues. Aims to develop skills in problem analysis, working in groups and oral and written communication (including submission writing) and to develop an understanding of the practical constraints faced by social scientists working in applied policy settings. Brings academic knowledge to bear on practice, and calls on students to master the analytical and theoretical material in the academic literature, and to bring it to bear on real life policy case studies.
