MA Governance, Development and Public Policy
A distinct feature of the MA is the focus on policy and practice. Core modules – taken by all MA Gov students – provide theoretical and topical foundations for the degree. Optional modules, which build on these foundations, apply concepts and theories to a range of development issues, focusing on equipping students with the methodologies and tools to assess and critique different policy options. We draw upon case-studies, faculty, students, and research partners from Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America, and South Asia, to enrich the curriculum of the MA.
Duration: One year full-time or two years part-time.
The academic year commences in September.

United Nations University, Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT)
Policy issues are becoming more complex, and policymaking has become a structured interaction between networked actors, with national governments and international organisations playing central roles in human development. More than ever, there is a clear need for specialists in policy analysis who can work in international and multi-level policy processes, taking on duties in the analysis of policy problems and the implementation and evaluation of solutions. In order to perform well in this domain, actors require a combination of theoretical background knowledge, technical skills and the opportunity to practise them, as well as a solid understanding of key policy fields.The Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development programme is a double-degree programme of Maastricht University’s Graduate School of Governance and University Nations University’s institute UNU-MERIT.

Governance in Theory and Practice
Governance is a complex concept which is often used but not always correctly understood. It is an elusive notion, defined and measured in various ways. Sometimes, the idea of governance is differently placed in practice or wrongly conceptualised theoretically. This course will guide participants through key theoretical debates surrounding the concept of governance while at the same time presenting a range of empirical examples to illustrate how governance works in practice. The framework of the course will comprise and tackle the following facets of governance: governance as an analytical term, governance and public administration, governance and globalisation, governance as decision-making, (good) governance and international organisations. The target group of this course is oriented but not limited to students, policy practitioners, NGOs staff, civil and international servants.
The course is structured in 5 learning modules stretched across 10 weeks. The learning process will feature a series of online lectures, tutorial supervision, online movie screenings, and assignments. The design of the course is structured as such as to allow mobility in the work and schedule for every participant. In parallel or upon the completion of this course, participants have the option to follow a complementary online course, namely “Introduction to Political Science”.
