About
Why apply?


The GPPN partner schools have developed dual degree programs where students spend the two years of their Masters at two different participating schools.
​
These programs permit students to study public policy from two different academic, cultural, and professional perspectives within a shared program of study. GPPN dual degree and exchange students will constitute a small and exceptional set of globally-trained professionals, forging a growing network of internationally-skilled decision-makers.
Participating in a dual degree program can offer you:
-
A multidisciplinary approach
-
Dual expertise
-
Fluency in different languages
-
A multicultural experience
-
Development of a diverse profile highly appreciated by recruiters in a wide variety of sectors
-
Two professional degrees in two years
-
A network of globally trained professionals
-
Critical skills needed to work in the public sector, multilateral institutions, international NGOs, and multinational companies
