The Erasmus Mundus Masters
Program in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP) is a 2-year-long international
Masters course funded by the European Commission. It directly responds
to the educational needs created by the rapidly changing global
environment and new public policy challenges. 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.
The European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus program provides
scholarships to outstanding students from within and outside the
European Union 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.
