I’m actually a student at Carleton, but one of my professors teaches at uOttawa and was telling me about some of the initiatives they’ve been running there recently. For example, the Faculty of Social Sciences hosted a policy hackathon where students worked in teams over a weekend to develop solutions to real policy and institutional challenges, with mentorship from practitioners and alumni. It’s part of a broader push they’ve been making toward more applied policy training. They also have CIPS (Centre for International Policy Studies), which regularly hosts policy events and panels with people from Global Affairs, DND, and other departments, so students are pretty plugged into the policy community.

Hi all! I received my acceptance about an hour ago. Leaning towards GPSIA I have received slightly better funding and as I heard from my professors it is better implemented within the government and amazing faculty.

Hi all quick update that my status has moved to “Review in progress by Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral affairs”

Did anyone else apply to GPSIA? How are you guys weighing the pros and cons of deciding where to go..

I am also in the same position received GPSIA acceptance with 7500 in funding but stuck in review by department for NPSIA, my last day to accept GPSIA is March 10th Also on Carleton 360 it shows as preliminary review required but on Carleton central it’s review by department not sure if it’s the same for anyone else
