Target group

Highly qualified and highly motivated prospective students who, after completing their studies in Germany and / or abroad, have to make decisions in social organisations and institutions that affect the public interest. We seek to attract talented and motivated applicants with a passion for and commitment to public policy. Successful candidates for our program possess strong analytical skills, curiosity and a probing mind, and a commitment to understanding and solving problems. Students with a wide range of backgrounds can fulfil these criteria. Some enter the program directly after their undergraduate degree, while others have several years of professional experience. Although most public policy students have graduated from the social sciences, we do not expect you to have a specific academic education.
