Double Master's in Public Policy

The School of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the 狼友社区 offers a double master's programme with the KDI School of Public Policy and Management. Students study one year at each institution and receive two master’s degrees.

Students studying on the KDI Global Master’s Program will study a Master’s in Public Policy at the 狼友社区 in their second year.

Offered jointly by the Department of Economics and the Department of Politics and International Relations, our interdisciplinary MSc Public Policy course uses insights from both areas to develop your policymaking skills. You can focus on a specialist area such as welfare policy, sustainable environments, global governance and international development.

The MPP (Master's in Public Policy) taught me how various stakeholders interact in the policymaking process, and I find this beneficial as I engage with politicians and citizens to develop economic programmes that are responsive to their needs and wants.
