Master of Public Administration

I am a graduate of Master in Public Administration, year of 2019. The program was amazing as well as academic team of the School of Public Policy. The program is designed for working professionals with various backgrounds and interests which makes this program unique. Your groupmates are going to be from different age groups and work environments, but they will all share the same goal of succeeding in their career as well as sharpening their skills. Also this kind of diverse environment gives you a great chance to learn about other’s experiences and grasp an opinion on how dilemmas in civil service or public policy are solved in their organizations and companies. Professor’s were great from the very first day, and became our friends by the end of the program. All the books and materials used were in compliance with the international best practices and this opinion comes from a person who did his bachelor’s in California back in 2015. If you are seeking for a program that can challenge your professionalism do not hesitate to apply for this program or choose NU as your next place to start your studies.

Working while studying

Studying at the University of Brighton allows me to flexiblility of working and studying at the same time - so I don't have to chose between the two. As the course I'm studying is also online, this allows me to keep up with my social life and job in my home town while enjoying the range of oppounities Brighton has to offer.

About university

It was a really bad university. The curriculum of my faculty was old for about 5-10 years, so university could not give us needed knowledge for our future job. Professors always read from their notebooks lecture and ask for students to write them.
