What you will study
For the people who will run the systems everyone else depends on. Public administration is often misread as a civil service preparation course. It is broader than that. Teaching runs across three semesters on the Bengaluru campus in a single year, plus a two-week study tour engagement at a UWS campus in the UK, subject to feasibility.
Course structure
180 credits at SCQF Level 11 (equivalent to QAA Level 7), delivered across three semesters of approximately eight to twelve weeks each, with short academic breaks in between.
How you will learn
Teaching is active, participative and case-led rather than lecture-led. Assessment goes well beyond examinations, through essays, research reports, group projects, presentations, reflective portfolios and consultancy assignments. Research runs through the programme from the first semester, not as a module appended at the end.
