Policy and law

Understand law, analyse policy, engage with change.

Examine the principles and practice of policy and law through our short and part-time courses. Designed for focused study, these courses explore how legal frameworks and public policy shape societies, institutions, and decision-making at local, national, and global levels.

Whether you are building your understanding or engaging with a specific area of interest, you will learn from expert tutors with academic and professional experience. Courses consider key themes such as legislation, governance, rights, and regulation, encouraging you to think critically about how laws are formed, interpreted, and applied.

Through structured teaching and discussion, you will develop insight into the relationship between law and policy, and the wider social, political, and economic contexts in which they operate. Short course formats allow you to engage deeply with a topic over a focused period, while fitting study around your existing commitments.
