Internationalization is not merely a concept in the Professional Master’s in Public Management and Policy (MPGPP) at FGV EAESP; it is a well-established practice. Recognized as one of the most innovative and competitive programs in Latin America, MPGPP offers its more than 400 students a wide range of global experiences, including dual degree programs, exchanges, academic partnerships, and participation in events of international relevance.

Dual Degree: Expanding Academic Horizons

One of MPGPP’s main advantages is its partnership with world-renowned institutions, enabling students to obtain dual degrees. Options include Università Bocconi (Italy), the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University (USA), and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Sussex (UK).

In 2024, interest in these opportunities grew significantly, with six candidates applying to IDS, five to Columbia, and five to Bocconi. Each institution offers unique areas of specialization, such as the Master’s in Gender and Development (IDS), Master’s in Power, Participation, and Social Change (IDS), Master’s in Policy and Public Policy Analysis (Bocconi), and Master’s in International Affairs (SIPA – Columbia). This diversity allows students to choose paths aligned with their interests and contemporary demands.

“Internationalization is a beneficial process for everyone involved. Our program is enriched through the exchange of experiences, which includes interacting with diverse methodologies and curricula. Moreover, students from participating institutions have the opportunity to connect with distinct realities and experiences, broadening their global perspectives. It’s a dynamic where everyone collaborates to build new knowledge,” emphasizes program coordinator Professor Marco Antonio Carvalho Teixeira.

New Agreements Strengthen International Reach

Additionally, MPGPP continues to expand its partnerships and is in negotiations with prestigious institutions:

  • Fudan University (China): Offers a program combining global vision, technical knowledge, and practical skills to train analysts, researchers, and leaders in the public and private sectors.
  • Georgetown University (USA): The Master of Public Policy (MPP) at McCourt School in Washington, D.C., equips students with advanced analytical skills and connects them to a network of policymakers.
  • University of Minho (Portugal): Focuses on Public Management, Public Policies, and Local Government, preparing professionals to identify problems and propose effective solutions.
  • -Hertie School (Germany): One of Europe’s leading public policy institutions, located in Berlin, combines academic excellence with practical opportunities, immersing students in contemporary global issues and connecting them to impactful international networks.
  • These partnerships consolidate MPGPP’s position as a reference in public policy education and research, both in Brazil and abroad.
