Public and Social Policy Studies (PASP) is a two-year English-language based M.A. programme, which aims to provide students with current relevant knowledge of policy-making process and cultivate their analytical skills and is taught by the Faculty of the Institute of Sociological Studies (ISS).

In addition to theoretical knowledge about policy-making process, the programme offers more comprehensive knowledge in concrete policy domains such as social policy, health policy, educational policy, employment policy as well as others.
