The Master in European Politics and Policies (MEPP) offers both academic rigor and reputation with EU practitioner insight. It is a one-year programme that empowers you to gain critical insight into today’s key issues in European public administration, public policy and public management. The programme is designed to provide students with rigorous research and analytical skills and prepares them for careers in governments, international bodies and research, all around the world.

This programme combines academic excellence in the comparative study of public sector structures, policy-making and administration within Europe, with a concern for the practical challenges professionals in policy, administrative and consultative functions face at the sub-state, state and European levels.
