EPPI-Centre - MSc in Evidence for Public Policy and Practice

The MSc in Evidence for Public Policy and Practice will equip you with conceptual and practical skills for conducting and appraising systematic reviews and evaluating the potential for and implementation of evidence-informed policy.

Students will be encouraged to build their studies around their own areas of interest. These could relate to social welfare, education, crime and justice, transport, health and health promotion, housing, or any other areas of social policy or practice.

You will study empirical research, practical examples and theory so as to cover a broad range of approaches to synthesis, models of research use, research questions, study types and types of data. The course can be taken over one year full-time, or part time over two years.

The development and delivery of this course has been supported by the EPPI-Centre's work as the Methods for Research Synthesis node of the ESRC's NCRM.
