The Master of Public Management is offered with three specialization streams: Public Policy and Administration (PPA), Global Public Policy (GPP) and GeoGovernance (GG). The specialization in Public Policy and Administration focuses on practice-oriented training for public policy and management, combining business management with social sciences perspectives. The Global Public Policy specialization takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the challenges of global interdependence, where students and faculty members work together on the analysis and design of international policies. The GeoGovernance Stream provides a science-based qualification for professionals working at the interface of administrative and environmental policy, aiming to better integrate the results of current research into policy decision making.

The 12-month MPM program is particularly designed for qualified graduates in social sciences, economics, business management and/or natural sciences who already have 2-3 years of professional experience in either the public sector, business enterprises, NGO’s or development agencies and are aiming at a career in international or public sector organizations. After completion, the program has had a significant impact upon the individual careers of its graduates by enhancing their management capacities, so that today, the majority of Alumni hold management and executive positions in ministries, local governments and NGO’s.

Recognized academics and practice-oriented economists, sociologists, political scientists and experts in public administration and public policy are dedicated to providing a cosmopolitan and stimulating environment for the international students of the program. The faculty includes professors from the University of Potsdam as well as visiting lecturers from other, internationally recognized Universities and research institutions in Germany and abroad.

The current tuition fee for the MPM program is 12.900€ and covers all core, optional and supplementary modules, the use of all University facilities, teaching materials, the study tour to Bonn and Brussels, public transportation for the Berlin-Brandenburg area and the University registration fee. Not included are costs for accommodation and health insurance. To secure funding, the following options are suggested: Private funds, employer scholarships, scholarships offered by public and private foundations, international organizations or national local governments as well as the “Helmut-Schmidt-Programme” of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
