CALL FOR APPLICANTS - MASTER OF EUROPEAN POLITICS AND POLICIES PROGRAMME
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium)
Academic year 2006-2007
http://soc.kuleuven.be/pol/mepp.htm
MEPP is a one-year full-time postgraduate political science programme with a strong orientation to public administration, and accredited by the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA).
The main objective of MEPP is to combine academic excellence in the comparative study of public sector structures, policy-making and administration within Europe, with a continuing concern for the practical challenges professionals in policy, administrative and consultative functions face at the sub-state, state and EU level.
MEPP has an explicit European and comparative orientation, which includes the study of institutions, decision-making and policies of the European Union on the one hand, and the analysis of convergence and divergence of public sector problems and solutions in European countries on the other hand. In promoting comparative approaches MEPP not only seeks to strengthen cognitive capacities and
analytical skills, but also to foster an open-minded attitude to diversity.
The MEPP programme is part of a wider European Master of Public Administration (EMPA) network, comprising nine European universities. Building on the respective strengths and potentials of the institutions, these universities have developed a framework for outstanding research and well-structured and closely supervised
student exchanges. MEPP students are offered the possibility to continue the second semester of their study programme to one of the MEPP partner universities, receiving a travel reimbursement and exempted from paying any additional registration fees. Successful students will be awarded an EMPA certificate, signed by both the
home university and the partner institution.
Enclosed you will find a PDF folder, including more detailed information about MEPP.
