Public Policy (MPP)

About this programme

We live in an extraordinary period characterized by acute concerns about the economy, migration, public health, climate change, national security, and many other issues. Addressing these complex public problems requires a deep understanding of the ecosystems in which these problems unfold, the myriad stakeholders operating within these systems, and the economic, cultural, historical, and political factors that shape these problems and their potential solutions around the world. It also requires the ability to analyze data rigorously, communicate compelling messages to different audiences using modern tools, maintain constructive relationships with stakeholders, manage public financial resources responsibly, and lead large-scale change initiatives. The online Master’s in Public Policy is designed to help experienced professionals strengthen their knowledge of how politics, economics, and policy intersect, and hone practical skills in areas like data analysis, communication, and leadership that are necessary to ensure effective solutions to pressing societal challenges.
