The Master of Arts in Public Policy and International Affairs is a dynamic initiative that allows students to benefit from the best of both disciplines — a solid grounding in international relations theory and practice, as well as the analytical tools for policy-making.

The program is taught over two years and includes a set of core courses from both disciplines and elective courses on different policy areas, conflict resolution and civil society development issues. The program takes advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of governments, non-profits, international institutions and businesses, training students to move easily across boundaries in their study of the allocation of ideas, rights and resources in today’s world.

Graduates can expect to pursue careers in government, business, international organizations such as the United Nations, multilateral banks or the NGO sector, utilizing a wide range of skills that foster their ability to resolve conflict in challenging circumstances and to solve complex social problems.
