Hello! Another international applicant here, looking at MPA/MPP programmes in Europe and the US
What are your goals?
In the short-medium term I'd like to work on public policy issues either at the EU, in my national civil service or third sector. Particularly interested in migration policy and housing/homelessness (and their intersection).
What programs best fit your passions / desires / plans and why?
Well I'm hoping that looking on here will help out a bit with that! So far I'm definitely looking at LSE and Sciences Po because of their international focus, as well as the Erasmus Mundus MAPP at CEU and EPoG at Paris 13.
When it comes to the US I'm a total novice as I only know the schools by their reputation internationally, so at the minute I'm just doing a lot of research. I've got a list of about 10 (the usual famous ones, plus a few that I've heard good things about about on here like Tufts and Duke) that I'm hoping to narrow to 4-5.
I don't have a lot of work experience though I do have multiple languages and a bit of voluntary experience, so I'm trying to find out which programmes align with that profile.
What have you done up to this point to narrow down your choices?
I've narrowed down my European choices by looking at the streams and options they offer - I also have a strong preference towards two year programmes rather than one year.
