Course Description
The Masters in Public Policy (MPP) programme is interdisciplinary. It enables students to address contemporary political economic and social issues in a coherent and comprehensive manner. MPP imparts a strong training in theory, covering key literature and debates. Students develop quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, receive an exposure to the real world policymaking process, and enhance their managerial skills. The challenge before the policymakers and public leaders is to find solutions to the developmental problems, to defend democratic values, and to resist authoritarian impulses to ‘catch up’ with or mimic less democratic countries. The programme has been designed to equip future policymakers and public leaders with competence to perform effectively in challenging environments.
Students will be assessed on a continual basis and on their performance in a final examination, PAE and the dissertation. Each student will be assigned a supervisor for designing research methodology, conducting fieldwork and writing the dissertation.
