Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy
The Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP), launched in 2007, is a 2-year-long international Masters program funded by the European Commission. The program has been granted financial support for an additional 5 cycles starting in 2012 by the European Commission, and for the new scheme it is introducing a new, integrated curriculum. Four leading European universities joined forces to deliver Mundus MAPP:
- Central European University in Budapest (Hungary),
- Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (Spain),
- International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University in
the Hague (Netherlands), - University of York (UK).
Building on Mundus MAPP’s successful track record, the integrated curriculum provides a uniform core of policy studies as well as modules specific to particular mobility tracks, drawn predominantly from the fields of International Relations, European Studies and Development Studies. The four mobility tracks allow students to specialise in Political Economy and Development, Governance and Development, and European and Global Public Policy, respectively. Each mobility track includes a field trip to relevant public sector organisations and an internship.
The European Commission’s Erasmus Mundus program provides scholarships to outstanding students from within and outside the European Union to attend Mundus MAPP. The Consortium universities also support these students by offering partial tuition fee waivers to Erasmus Mundus scholarship recipients.
