Both Master’s programs feature core courses that address key public policy themes, including: policy process and policy analysis; political institutions; public management and administration; micro- and macroeconomics; ethics and public policy; and qualitative and quantitative research methods.
They include a wide range of specialized elective courses, organized into several clusters:
• International public policy, including globalization and global governance
• European Union public policy and governance
• Decentralized governance, including fiscal policy, budgeting and rural development
• Economic policy, including international trade, political economy and regulation
• Media, information and communications policy, including law and intellectual property rights
• Energy and environment policy, including regulation and energy security
• Higher education policy and management
• Cultural policy
• Social and health policy
The completion of a two-month internship is an integral part of both Master’s programs. Students are required to apply insights they have gained from coursework outside the classroom, and are provided with an opportunity to advance their research, further develop their career and meet potential employers. Various scholarships are available.
