Course summary
Develop your understanding of what corruption is, where and why it proliferates, and what we can do to counteract it.
This course is the only full-time Masters in the UK addressing issues of corruption. You will explore:
- how different disciplines define corruption and how this can lead to different anti-corruption approaches
- specific examples - from systematic abuses of power by parties, politicians, and civil servants to small-scale, petty misdemeanours
- the role of business, unpacking the problems surrounding corruption and exploring potential solutions.
Peer-to-peer interaction and collaboration are key elements of the course and create a rich learning experience. Sharing knowledge and opinions allows us to look at issues from different perspectives. On graduation, you will understand corruption in many different contexts. You will also have the practical tools to design and put in place anti-corruption responses.
You will learn from academics and practitioners dedicated to interdisciplinary research and policy impact in our world-leading Centre for the Study of Corruption
Careers
Our MA equips you with the skills for a career in a wide variety of fields. You are particularly well placed to work:

- in areas of corporate social responsibility - an area of growing importance for many national and international companies.
Development and a wide variety of NGOs and charities are also options. The skills you develop are highly valued in journalism, including a fine eye for what is and is not acceptable government and business practice.
The optional internship helps you to develop and apply a range of practical skills prospective employers find attractive.
