What makes this Master's degree unique?
An interdisciplinary approach to studying how to analyse contemporary issues
JSGP public policy professionals achieve a mastery of different technical disciplines. Acquiring and applying the knowledge gleaned from an array of social science disciplines, including economics, history, sociology, and political science is the hallmark of public policy practitioners, rather than limiting study to only one. Most importantly, JSGP graduates will have the skills to ensure that the public policies and processes they implement are both in compliance with ethical norms sustaining the public interest and fully cognizant of people's freedom and dignity.
MPP graduates are equipped to work on development and policy making roles in the government, civil services, CSR groups, academia, think tanks, NGOs, media and political organisations.
