Public and Social Policy (PASP) is a two-year English-language Master’s degree program, which aims to provide students with current relevant knowledge of the policy-making process and cultivate their analytical skills. In addition to theoretical knowledge about the policy-making process, the program will offer deeper knowledge in concrete policy domains such as social policy, health policy, educational policy, employment policy, or others. Special attention in the program will be given to research methodology and policy analysis skills. The combination of knowledge about the policy process and methodology skills will lead to unique competencies and excellent professional employment or for further studying or research career. The program is developed in accordance with almost twenty years of experience with the Czech program on Public and Social Policy. It will, however, be supplemented by experience with already existing English courses and realized international research programs. Similarly, the comparative dimension will be enhanced. The theoretical grounds of the discipline will be covered especially in the courses Public Policy and Social Policy. The knowledge about concrete policy domains will be provided in the courses Educational Policy, Health Policy, and Civil Society in Central Europe. Methodological knowledge and skills will be developed in courses Policy Analysis, Introduction to Social Research Methodology, Statistics in SPSS, Text, Narrative & Discourse Analysis, and Diploma Seminar I and II. During the program, both individual and collective students’ work on concrete social and policy problems will be sustained.
