Admission Requirements
We seek to attract highly talented and motivated applicants with a passion for and commitment to public policy.
Successful candidates for our program possess strong analytical skills, curiosity and a probing mind, and a commitment to understanding and solving problems. Students with a wide range of backgrounds can fulfill these criteria. Some enter the program directly after their undergraduate degree, while others have several years of professional experience. Although most public policy students have graduated from the social sciences, we do not expect you to have a specific academic education.
It’s mainly about the kind of person you are: If you have an analytical mind and an entrepreneurial mindset, are a political animal, a strategic thinker, a go-getter, then we look forward to receiving your application.
The prerequisites for applying to the Master of Public Policy program are:
- higher education entrance qualification (i.e. high school diploma)
- college or university degree (Bachelor, Master, Diploma, state exam, etc.) with a minimal duration of 6 semesters
- above-average grades or professional performance

- very good English language proficiency ( TOEFL, Paper test: 550 or above, Computer test: 213 or above, Internet test: 80 or above; IELTS; 6.0 or above; Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English: A, B, or C)
