Introduction to MSc in Social Sciences in Comparative Public Policy and Welfare Studies
- Why are some societies more unequal than others?
- How can we explain high unemployment and soaring budget deficits?
- Why do many women participate in the labour market in some countries, and very few in others? Why does health care differ in quality across developed societies?
- How do older generations treat younger ones in ageing societies?
The answers to these questions are all related to public policy and welfare states, and they are essential to the future of societies. The Master in Comparative Public Policy and Welfare Studies teaches the roots of modern welfare states, the manifold effects they have on societies, and the main pressures and challenges they face in the ageing, globalizing, migrating and robotizing world.
This two-year Master provides students with a high level of skills and competencies that will enable them to contribute to sustainable, equitable and democratically legitimate policy solutions to such challenges. This makes our students' attractive candidates to multiple international and national agencies as well as to ministries and other government bodies.
The teaching form is a mix of traditional lectures, project assignments and assignments in groups or individually, which will prepare you for the many possibilities at SDU and your professional career afterwards.
As something special, you will find multiple study programmes under the same roof. Therefore you will find a casual atmosphere and a living social study environment.
We are proud of the internationalization you will find at our campuses. Each year we are admitting a large portion of international students, and we are focused on attracting educators and researchers from the whole world. This creates an exciting environment and promotes diversity, and we hope you will enjoy the many possibilities you find at our campuses and contribute to the SDU-culture.
