Are you considering applying for the MSc in Public Policy and Human Development, an innovative dual-diploma programme offered by the United Nations University (UNU-MERIT) and Maastricht University?

Following Maastricht University's general Master's Open Day event on 9 November, UNU-MERIT will be holding a special MPP Experience Day on Monday 11 November 2024 for prospective students who would like to learn more about this unique master's programme (known as the MPP for short) specifically.

You'll hear from alumni, our MPP Academic Director and our Admissions Officer, enjoy a snack lunch and have the opportunity to ask staff, alumni and current students any questions you may have. After lunch, you can join a tour of the UNU-MERIT building and we also invite you to stay to watch (part of) the MPP Public Policy Conference, an annual event in the MPP academic calendar where our students present their work to their teachers and to one another.
