ADMISSIONS
Admissions Policy
The objective of the MPP programme's admissions policy is to select a diverse group of students who have not only outstanding academic ability but also the potential for career growth and who are committed to public service.

Candidates accepted into the programme will normally be older than the average graduate student. Although those with less experience will be considered, the MPP candidate preferably should have at least two years' experience in a public service environment.
Graduates of the programme are likely to pursue careers with national, regional or international governments; nonprofit organisations; the media; public sector planning firms; international corporations; and other agencies devoted to the public interest.
Criteria for Selection
Professional Merit - Demonstrated by employment history, professional direction, maturity and potential for career growth through recommendations.
