The course structure is comprised of four different residential parts:
Public Colloquium

- to orient incoming students to the MPM program and to Bocconi University;
- to give students a sense of the scope and nature of skills and attributes required of public managers and MPM participants;

The colloquium draws on MPM faculty and practitioners

Internship
Min. 3 months from June 2011
After the completion of MPM class activities, students are expected to use their skills in a real setting. As such, students will undertake a field project in a public or public-related organization. Internships give participants the opportunity to tackle actual management problems in a real organization. Students are asked to generate professional value for the hosting institution, receiving in exchange a valuable learning experience.
Internships are carried out over a period of at least 3 months and involve a full-time commitment. During this period, each student is supervised by one MPM faculty member.
Internships may be carried out in any country.
Potential hosting institutions are:
- supranational and international institutions;
- national, regional and local government institutions, agencies and companies involved into the delivery of public services;
- NPOs and NGOs;
- research centers;
- consultancy companies.
At the end of the internship MPM students are asked to prepare a written report describing and discussing the results of their projects, in order to complete the MPM program.
