Course Overview
The Master in Population and Policy Analysis equips students with essential skills to navigate the intersection of demography, policy formulation, and evidence-based decision-making. Through a multidisciplinary approach, students acquire the knowledge and technical skills to understand many pressing population issues, such as ageing societies, low birth rates and migration, and how policies can be enacted to manage and mitigate some of the greatest challenges of the future decades.
Full Time (one year)
What You’ll Learn
The programme pools demographic and policy research expertise across the Faculty of Social Sciences to offer students population expertise and analytical skills to address specific issues and solve real-world problems. In the private, public, and academic sectors, there is a strong demand in the job market for individuals trained in population and policy analysis, as well as the technical expertise required to study demographic change. Demographic challenges are a key component of planning across many domains, whether it be social planning to understand the composition of communities, their needs, and potential challenges, political planning to understand population distribution, demographics of constituencies, and voting patterns or business planning to make informed decisions regarding market analysis, target audiences, and consumer behaviour.
