The two-year full-time Master in Public Policy (MPP) programme provides rigorous training for a strong foundation in policy analysis, programme evaluation and management. It is designed for young professionals with up to 5 years of work experience, to meet the demand for skilled policymakers and analysts in the public, private or not-for-profit sectors. They demonstrate maturity and commitment towards the public service. Proficiency in written and spoken English is a must.

Curriculum

The MPP curriculum draws from the disciplines of economics, political science and public management and is complemented by a wide range of specialisation modules and electives.

Common modules focus on imparting knowledge, developing practical skills and promoting interdisciplinary competencies that are critical in the work of public policy practitioners, particularly analysts and researchers.

A key component of the common modules is the Policy Analysis Exercise (PAE). To gain practical experience, MPP students must undertake a public policy or management study for a client in the public, private or not-for-profit sector, in their second year.
