The MPP develops your expertise in the core principles, concepts and methods of public policy research and analysis, and develops your skills in solving public policy problems.
You can connect theory with practice by studying the nature of policy, policy design and the policy process, and engaging in policy analysis and development.
You’ll be able to follow your own interests through research and elective courses. You can apply to enrol in the university internship course for hands-on experience in policy.
