Global Governance for Development -- Master's in Public Policy and Human Development (MPP)

Inês Pestana (MPP student): ''I believe the complex issues of today's world can only be solved through complex solutions. So I do think multilateralism is the way to achieve all the SDGs.''

The sustainable development paradigm aims to provide the optimal political, institutional, economic, environmental and security conditions for social change and to improve human life worldwide. Many international organisations shape and implement developmental policies, including:
– The United Nations
– World Bank
– International Monetary Fund
– World Trade Organization
– the European Union.

All of them are inspired today by the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030, adopted by the United Nations.

Our specialisation offers the real-life experience of the governance of global partnerships for development by engaging with experts and practitioners from different international organisations. As a result, students will be prepared to start their careers in international organizations, public administration, nonprofit entities, or the private sector as future professionals in global development.
