Further information about the Blavatnik School of Government Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; applied research; and engagement with government and practitioners. The School is one of the youngest and most vibrant departments of the University of Oxford. It was founded in 2010, thanks to a £75 million donation by American philanthropist Leonard Blavatnik. We accept around 140 MPP (Master of Public Policy) students and five doctoral students a year. Uniquely, the School is anchored across all four of the academic divisions of the University: the social sciences; humanities; mathematics, physical and life sciences; and medical sciences. The School's goal is to improve 6 the quality of government and public policy-making worldwide, so that citizens can enjoy more secure and more fulfilled lives. It is pursuing this goal through three priorities: • Teaching: delivering transformative teaching programmes that combine deep expertise with analytical thinking and practical skills. • Research: producing and communicating rigorous applied research, often in collaboration with public and private sector innovators, which addresses urgent policy challenges. • Engagement: forging networks that enable policy leaders to learn from each other and from top scholars to generate solutions and to share best practice. Teaching programmes The School has four education programmes: • The Master of Public Policy (MPP) is an intensive one-year graduate degree, taking a broad view of how public policy is made, implemented and evaluated at local, regional and global levels. The School actively seeks out the smartest, most impactful future and current practitioners from every region of the world and builds a strong, purposeful community among them. • The MSc in Public Policy Research provides an additional year of study to those who have completed the components of the MPP, who learn how to conduct robust, applied and impactful research that can inform public policy-making – whether by clarifying the nature, extent and cause of major policy problems or by developing evidence-based strategies for their mitigation. • The Doctorate in Public Policy (DPhil) is a full-time three-year applied research degree. The School seeks scholars keen to pursue academically rigorous applied research on a public policy issue. • The School's executive programmes, workshops, and fellows' programmes offer opportunities for senior professionals and policymakers to access cutting edge research, to reflect on their own experience, and to develop a community of practice with peers from other countries. For further details, visit http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/study Research programmes The School is continuing to appoint outstanding scholars who are leading dynamic research programmes in areas including: economic growth and resilience; governance, democracy, cooperation and law; health, education, welfare and well-being; science, technology, climate change and public policy; security and conflict. The School also draws on extensive intellectual networks both within Oxford and internationally to ensure it keeps at the cutting edge of inter-disciplinary and global knowledge and on cross-sector partnerships with individuals and organisations to remain practice-oriented and solution-focused. The School recognises that there are many different forms of leadership, a range of views about democracy, and diverse cultures in which people operate. Equally, there is a variety of methods and disciplines which can be used to interrogate challenges of government. That is why the research in the School spans the local to the global, and several disciplines, in terms of the types of challenges addressed and the ways that in which they are approached. http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research 7 At the School, we treat everyone with dignity and respect; and are comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives. The School is committed to equality and valuing diversity. For more information about the School, please visit: https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/ Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and nongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, thirteen of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is 8 home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
