Our international partners
The MPA has been developed in collaboration with the following partners.
The Worldwide Universities Network
The Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) is a global partnership of 17 leading research-led institutions in Europe, the US, China and Australia. The WUN network provides opportunites for academics to work at an international level with key strategic partners, whose professional standing in research and teaching is globally recognised.
A number of the modules on the MPA programme have been co-authored by WUN members, who continue to contribute to the development of academic material. This gives the York programmes a uniquely international perspective.
Further information on the work of the WUN can be found on their website at: http://www.wun.ac.uk/
