Course content
Joinlty run with the Cardiff School of Social Sciences, the MSc aims to add a teaching dimension to the research collaboration between the two schools which is provided by the Regeneration Institute. This Institute provides a focus for the regeneration-related research activities undertaken in both schools.
The course provides students with an opportunity to examine the range of social science issues covered by regeneration studies, especially the interplay between economy, state and civil society. The programme of study will also furnish students with an opportunity to review debates, investigate substantive issues and acquire problem-solving skills through project-based teamwork, as well as develop the analytical and social skills which are increasingly being sought in today's rapidly growing regeneration-related professions.
Special Features:
Addresses a state-of-the-art public policy agenda.
Certain modules have opportunities for one-day field visits.

Funding is highly competitive and we recommend planning and researching your funding options well in advance of commencing your studies. Also, in most cases, you will need to have a firm offer of a place to study on a postgraduate programme before you will be considered for an award. It is therefore important that you apply for your chosen postgraduate programme well in advance of the closing date for funding applications as set by the relevant funding body.
