The Hertie School of Governance (HSoG) located in Berlin, Germany offers a two-year programme, taught exclusively in English and leading to the academic degree Master of Public Policy (MPP). At a time when nation states are undergoing profound changes, the objective of the Hertie School of Governance is to enable gifted graduate students to face these changes in positions of leadership in the public, private and civil-society sectors.
Therefore, teaching and research at the HSoG focus on the demands and most pressing issues of a trans-nationally integrated world. The Master of Public Policy programme combines a multidisciplinary approach with a practical, problem-solving orientation and is taught by an international faculty of academic excellence. HSoG students come from all over the world and a diversity of disciplines (e.g. economics, law, or political and social sciences). Upon graduation they will pursue a career dealing professionally with problems of modern governance.
