Master of Arts in Public Policy and International Law

 

 
 
 
 
 
 

The Master’s in Public Policy and International Law (MPL) at The American University of Paris is a highly competitive, one-year program that offers students an interdisciplinary graduate degree in partnership with Oxford University’s summer program in International Human Rights Law.

 

Students acquire both the fundamental knowledge and the practical skills necessary to pursue careers in international public policy and law. The three-semester curriculum provides the tools for qualitative and quantitative public policy analysis, as well as a rigorous focus on public, environmental and human rights law from a uniquely international perspective.

 

Class size is limited to twenty students, ensuring that each cohort benefits from an extremely attractive faculty-to-student ratio, and a lively engagement with the international community in Paris and at Oxford.

 

AUP’s MPL program is particularly interested in enrolling dynamic graduate students who can demonstrate strong research abilities and leadership skills. Strong candidates will be committed to academic excellence, have a wide range of personal, professional, and academic experience, and aim to pursue an international career in law or public policy. Successful applicants will most often intend to work in an international environment and contribute to the resolution of complex global issues that affect the public, non-profit, and private sectors; they are, above all, active proponents of social justice.

 

Successful MPL candidates have completed a Bachelor’s (with honors) or Master’s degree in the social sciences or humanities, and intend to strengthen their:

 

application to an American law school through a rigorous program of international graduate study;

application to a PhD program in Public Policy in the United States or Europe;

professional profile for a career with an international agency or government;

professional profile for a career in the non-profit or private sectors.

 

Given the international nature of the MPL program, students will be expected to have a strong familiarity with a second language, and the willingness to work flexibly across cultures.
