Edinburgh MPA 2.64

The MPA is an internationally recognised professional postgraduate degree, which is a public / Third Sector equivalent to the Master of Business Administration (MBA).

The programme is targeted primarily at individuals with an interest in public service working in a range of organisational contexts including the Third Sector.

The aim of the programme is to enable learners to build on their professional experience by engaging critically with, and reflecting on, key developments in public administration in order to more effectively deliver public service outcomes in a rapidly changing environment.

The programme addresses some of the key challenges facing our public services such as financial accountability, partnership working, governance, effective leadership and responding to change.

This programme offers an excellent student experience and includes an innovative leadership exchange element, working with ACOSVO, to enable all students to partake in an appropriate exchange within another public service organisation.
