Overview

Deadline: 4 January 2012

The Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP) is a 2-year-long international Masters course funded by the European Commission. The European Commission`s Erasmus Mundus program provides scholarships to outstanding students from within and outside the European Uni0n to attend Mundus MAPP and to visiting scholars to participate in teaching and research. The Consortium universities also support these students by offering partial tuition fee waivers to Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipients. Mundus MAPP equips graduates with the conceptual knowledge and hard skills that are necessary for understanding and decisively intervening in contemporary transnational policy problems, from climate change to international terrorism or financial regulatory failure. It provides a detailed and systematic understanding of how political institutions, processes and public policies operate and interact from the global political economy through to national and local levels with a direct focus on European engagements at these levels of governance. Inter-disciplinarity and practical application of conceptual knowledge are hallmarks of Mundus MAPP.

Singapore Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy – Masters Programme Information 2011/2012
We are pleased to inform you that applications are now open for our prestigious Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) Fellowships for the 1-year Master in Public Management (MPM) programme. The LKY Fellowship provides an unparalleled opportunity for Indonesian officials to network with their counterparts in other Asian countries who are being groomed as future leaders.

The LKY Fellowship is arguably one of the most prestigious scholarships given to non-Singapore citizens by the Singapore Government. Supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the fellowship is valued in excess of one-hundred thousand dollars per student making it one of the most generous scholarships globally. The fellowship provides a unique opportunity for public sector officials from Asia to study one semester at the LKY School and a second at the Harvard Kennedy School . Moreover, LKY Fellows benefit from a five-week attachment with a Singapore Government Ministry or Statutory Board which aims to deepen candidates’ understanding of policy making and implementation in Singapore and encourage reflection on its relevance to their own country.
