“The MPP programme gave me a firm foundation in the core principles, concepts and methods of public policy research and analysis and developed my potential for leadership in local and national government. The ability to think critically and solve public policy issues is fundamental to my job – something the MPP equips all of its scholars to do."

“I had really great lecturers and professors supporting me throughout my studies. They were like aunties to me – the door was always open. They allocated time, energy, a listening ear and a compassionate push in the right direction. This made my learning journey really comfortable. Whenever I had a mountain in front of me, it didn’t seem so high that I couldn’t get over it.”
Willie Swann, Master of Education
"During my programme, there was so much support; my supervisors were always open to meeting and helping me, and I attended a lot of Faculty of Arts events."
Maddy Holland, Nga Puhi, Master of Global Studies
