Teaching
and learning
The way in which the Exeter MPA is taught has been designed to meet both
the needs of working professionals and full-time students.
Based on an ethos of active learning through interactive teaching
and learning methods, it aims to encourage the link between
theory and real life practice.
• Presentations from visiting speakers such as senior civil servants,
chief executives, leading consultants and public figures
• Field trips to local, regional and national public bodies such
as the National School of Government and Welsh Assembly.
Depending on your choice of options, either the majority or
your entire course will be delivered in intensive teaching blocks.
You will benefit from excellent online learning resources including
Intensive modules will consist of:

and preparatory research)
• 3-4 days of intensive seminars, lectures/talks, exercises
and workshops
• Post-teaching period (reflection, task completion,
preparation of assessed work)
• Fast marking turn-around with individual feedback.
The content and delivery of the MPA will include not only traditional
teaching methods, such as lectures, seminars and workshops, but
depending on your choice of modules may involve:
• Task-oriented work including case-study work
The programme includes an induction to introduce you to the
Exeter MPA and help you adjust to postgraduate study. We will
provide practical help and advice on subjects such as study and

Anne Harrison-Bailey
Consultation and Planning Officer
Devon and Somerset Fire and
Rescue Service
Since leaving university I have worked in local
government and always wanted to complete a Masters
degree. The MPA seemed ideal as it linked my work
experience with a Masters course and would allow
me to build on the skills and knowledge I had already
gained through work.
The MPA at Exeter offered a wide choice of topics and
a flexible modular programme which looked like it
would make fitting a degree in with a full-time job
much easier. The most valuable aspect is that the
topics are relevant to the job I’m currently doing.
After completing each module I have returned to work
with a fresh perspective on the work I do and a greater
understanding of the sector I work in.
Due to the international nature of the MPA I have gained
a wider perspective of the topics we have been studying,
which has allowed me to appreciate the administration
systems we already have in place in the UK and learn
from other countries how these can be improved.
The MPA has given me a wider perspective of public
administration on a national and global level. It has
helped me to identify some of the key themes that run
through public administration and how they affect the
organisation I work for and the work I do.
The online learning provides access to all the essential
information I have needed for the course and has enabled
me to keep up to date with what’s going on. The course
has helped me to develop the skills, knowledge and
confidence to progress in the public sector.
Your career
The need to develop management and leadership skills is being recognised
as increasingly important within the public sector and this has been reflected
by the introduction of management competencies and a growing demand
for formal qualifications for senior management positions.
The MPA is a qualification which is recognised around the

Azmin Ahmad
Civil Servant, Brunei Darussalam
The MPA is closely related to my profession as a civil
servant in my country of Brunei Darussalam. The MPA
covers in depth what I need to learn and apply to my
profession such as theories relating to modernising
public services and policy reform.
What motivates me the most is the course content
which offers dynamism in terms of module selection,
compared to some universities that only offer a
traditional or limited module choice. I also chose the
MPA because of the relationship that the University
has with the World Bank, International Monetary
Fund and civil service agencies. The expertise and
background of the lecturers and tutors, who are very
experienced and have published a wide selection of
public administration and public policy books, also
encouraged me to apply. As people say, to be the best
you have to learn from the best.
The facilities offered by the University are
overwhelming, especially the information technology
such as e-learning and the online library, personal
records and timetable which are just very convenient
for students. And the forum website is very useful for
an open discussion with course mates as well as
lecturers and tutors.
Having a mixture of international course mates has
also made it enjoyable, as we are able to learn about
each other’s public administration as well as culture
and countries. And most importantly the international
relationships have built an atmosphere of unity.
The welcoming environment of the University has
made studying here an enjoyable experience. Besides
the University, the city of Exeter is a very beautiful
and peaceful place to study and live. The people of
Exeter are very friendly and always talking with a
friendly smile.
