Master in Public Administration

The IE University Master in Public Administration (MPA) is designed for professionals who are prepared to lead and innovate in a world of exponential change. Whether you work in public affairs, government, consultancy, or nonprofits, your keen interest in leadership and innovation comes from a desire to improve the lives of citizens around the world.

At the IE School of Global and Public Affairs, we believe that the world needs a new class of professionals, capable of working at the intersection of the public and private sectors; and prepared to harness the power of technology to improve governance and society. With the IE Center for the Governance of Change and the IE PublicTech Lab present on campus, the School is a hub of applied research, consultancy and public policy examination—which directly influences the design and implementation of the MPA.

Across the private and public sectors, professionals with the ability to create innovative solutions are in high demand. Public innovators — acting within either a public, private, or non-profit organization — are in a prime position for social impact, while also contributing to collaboration and understanding across traditional sectoral divides. By uniting players from technology, public policy, business, and global affairs, we seek to educate individuals capable of succeeding in this fast-changing and interconnected world.
