Introduction
MSc in Public Policy and Human Development
How can public policy promote innovation-based growth? What is lacking in the current social protection policy in your country and how can it be improved? What are the key factors that governments should take into account when forming their migration policy? If you want to develop the skills to answer these questions in a professional capacity, then the master's Program in Public Policy and Human Development is a good fit for you.
The Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development emphasizes the connection between public policy and decision-making processes, or more specifically, the effectiveness and efficiency of governance. You will be equipped with a variety of skills, tools, and knowledge that enable you to work as a policy designer or policy analyst. You will be capable of working within public and private institutions at local, national, and international levels. The one-year master's program is offered as a double degree in collaboration with United Nations University (UNU-MERIT).
