Master of Public Policy Program (MPP)

As part of our commitment to interdisciplinary learning and regional collaboration, the Master of Public Policy (MPP) program offers students the opportunity to participate in a cross-campus exchange with the HKUST Guangzhou (HKUST(GZ)) campus. This initiative re ects HKUST’s “Uni ed University, Complementary Campuses” vision—bringing together the strengths of both locations to create a richer, more exible academic experience. Beginning in Spring 2026, eligible MPP students will be able to apply to spend their second term at HKUST(GZ), engaging with the MSc in Technology and Policy (MSc TP) program offered by the Innovation, Policy and Entrepreneurship (IPE) Thrust. This exchange is designed to deepen students’ understanding of how emerging technologies intersect with public policy, and to foster collaboration across the Greater Bay Area and beyond. At the Division of Public Policy, we believe that meaningful policy education extends beyond borders. That’s why we’re actively developing international student exchange opportunities for Master of Public Policy (MPP) students, with plans to launch in Spring 2027. These exchanges will offer selected students the chance to spend a semester abroad at leading institutions, immersing themselves in new policy environments, academic cultures, and global perspectives. Participants will be able to take elective courses that complement their specialization, engage with diverse faculty and peers, and explore how public policy is shaped across different regions and governance systems.
