    Program Description

    The Master in Public Administration (MPA) program at University of Birmingham will enable public managers, and those involved in public sector policies and services, to acquire a clear foundation of knowledge about the nature, role and development of the public sector and current trends in its evolution.

    The course will show how ideas about government, organisation, motivation, leadership, efficiency and performance have influenced management practice in governmental organisations and public services.

    The Master in Public Administration (MPA) includes an international group field trip with visits to city, regional and central government organisations to learn about public administration in a practical, international context.
