Devolution has transformed Welsh politics and government. Join this innovative programme and explore the devolved institutions in their wider constitutional, political and policy contexts.
Connected – Wales and beyond
Close links and proximity to Wales’ devolved institutions as well as to UK-wide levels of government.
Engaging speakers
A vibrant interdisciplinary research environment hosting regular research seminars and visiting speakers.
Specialist modules
Modules built on the distinctive and cross-disciplinary opportunities afforded by our expertise in law, politics and international relations.
The changing political and legal landscape in Wales poses exciting and challenging questions for those with an academic or professional interest in politics and policy.
The Welsh Government and Politics MA is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the institutions and practices of governance in post-devolution Wales. In addition to focusing on politics and governance in Wales, the course places developments in Wales in a broader UK context, providing an overview of relationships between the various levels of governance.
Taught by leading experts in Welsh politics and government from the renowned Wales Governance Centre, the programme also benefits from the close links that exist between Cardiff University and the institutions of devolved government in Wales.
You’ll gain an informed insight into, and understanding of, the emerging Welsh polity, a polity based on distinctive historical and cultural factors, a fast-evolving constitutional dispensation, new policy-making processes, and still developing civil society capacity.
However, the relevance of the programme is not confined to Wales. Issues relating to shared sovereignty and multi-level governance are central to contemporary political debates and the Welsh context provides a fascinating case study of broader trends in European and global governance.
