HKUST pioneers public policy studies, breaking new ground

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at HKUST offers students a unique opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world policy challenges. From integrating technology to improving transport links for low-income families, each project allows students to test their ideas and learn what works in everyday situations. With a diverse faculty and a focus on teaching analytical tools and policymaking processes, the program equips students to become effective policy professionals.

Through a variety of courses, case studies, internships, and projects, students tackle complex global challenges and explore the role of science and technology in shaping public policy. The program encourages debates, presentations, and site visits to enhance understanding and foster collaboration among students from different backgrounds.

With a focus on practical learning and real-world applications, the MPP program prepares students to address pressing issues like climate change, energy policy, and urban development. By bridging the gap between government and the private sector, graduates are equipped to make a positive impact and create a more sustainable and equitable society.
