MPUP equips students with theoretical frameworks and professional practices to deal with global and local policy changes from an interdisciplinary perspective. During this two-year journey, I have learnt to analyze government policies with policy-making models and explore practical skills in policy research. It enables me to incorporate knowledge acquired in my Political Science Degree with real-world policy issues. MPUP gives me professional insights into policy analysis which are beneficial for my career development. For those who aspire to help society address pressing public policy challenges, being MPUP students would be a stepping-stone.

The year studying in the MPUP programme had been a rewarding journey for me. The programme allowed me to learn different things in different courses with specialized teachers from various policy fields. After the MPUP journey, I am able to master some practical frameworks and methods in analyzing public policy, which is very helpful for my life-long learning. By the way, the programme had a good mix of local and non-local students, and I quite enjoyed the learning experience in classes that students had diverse views and teachers were open-minded.

Studying at the MPUP was a positive life-changing experience for me. Not only did CUHK provide us with up-to-date knowledge for policy analysis, but also the way to think about decision-making. One of MPUP’s great strengths is the practicality of its curriculum. I got good chances to broaden my horizons through interactions with former government officials and experts.
