The 2-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) programme provides a strong foundation in conceptual and analytical skills for future public service leaders and individuals with an interest in understanding and influencing how public policy choices are made.

A typical MPP class brings together 60 talented and committed students – many in the early phases of their careers – from Asia and beyond to study with expert and dedicated faculty. Immersed in this richly diverse environment, and meeting often in small study groups, MPP students learn to confidently apply economic and management ideas and tools to analyse, design and manage efficient and effective public policies and organisations. The School’s emphasis on problem-based learning and use of case studies focuses students’ minds on complex real-world problems rather than simple textbook examples. MPP students also have ample opportunity to hone their skills in achieving a consensus for action through effective oral and written communications.

MPP students benefit from the School’s growing network of exchange arrangements of up to 1 year with public policy schools worldwide. The School also conducts an active programme of seminars and public lectures by political, not-for-profit and business leaders to enable all students to complement their formal learning with the opportunity to interact with distinguished individuals who are shaping the future.

The School is proud of the fact that many MPP graduates have gone on to serve the public interest in international and national organisations in Asia and beyond.
