If your objective is to find a programme that gives you a very balanced mix of technical skills and exposure to both economics and political science, I don't think you can do much better than the LSE.

Complete your world class LSE education without taking a career break 

This Executive Master of Public Administration is ideal if you’re looking to significantly develop your career in public service, in private sector organisations impacted by government regulation, or to transition from the private to the public sector, all without taking a career-break.

Taught in intensive blocks over 22 months, the programme combines rigorous academic study with practical learning. You’ll develop your knowledge in policy analysis, economics, and political science and build your skills to tackle professional policy challenges in different settings and geographic regions.

The programme has a strong practical focus. You’ll hear from senior policymakers and learn how they’ve approached some of the most challenging policy issues of our time. The programme's modular format means you can instantly apply your learning to your work.

We have a friendly, welcoming academic community, with high-calibre students from all over the world and varied professional backgrounds. This degree shares classes with the Executive Master of Public Policy programme – which is open to experienced, senior leaders in the Civil Service. So, you’ll benefit from a diverse range of insights.
