The Master of Science (120 credits) in Welfare Policies and Management provides students with the latest research on the administration and management of welfare services. The programme is based on a comparative approach, highlighting differences and similarities across countries, administrative levels and policy areas, including a European Union perspective.
By combining perspectives from Political Science, Social Work and Sociology the programme provides the students with broad social science based knowledge, while maintaining an in-depth discipline-oriented specialisation. The students specialise through elective courses from the core departments and the department of Economics. The programme offers the possibility of internship, or a term at a university abroad. The programme ends with a Master’s thesis, in which students apply skills acquired in the programme and conduct a research study on their own.
The programme is a collaboration between us at the Department of Sociology, the Political Science Department and the School of Social Work. Choose your major: sociology, political science, or social work.
