“I chose to study at the School because it is a global, as much as it is an Asian, public policy school. What makes it global is that its curriculum is comparable to other leading public policy schools in the world, and it has an international faculty and student body. What makes it Asian at the same time is that it is in the strategically located city-state of Singapore, a melting pot of different cultures and a magnet for talent in Asia. This provides students an opportunity to gain deeper knowledge and understanding of this dynamic region and its peoples.”
