Online Courses

UNU-MERIT offers a range of online and blended courses for working professionals keen to expand their expertise in public policy.

We provide a comprehensive combination of theoretical insights, educational tools, technical skills and sector-specific knowledge to put theory into practice. Focused on policy design, policy analysis and the methods and techniques of policy research, our learning programmes offer skills and knowledge often difficult to obtain during full-time employment. To accommodate our participants’ needs, these courses are available as single online courses but also as certificate programmes and blended learning programmes. In case of specific needs, we also design tailor-made online course packages upon request. See an overview of all courses, Application Deadlines and Starting Dates here.
