Success of MPPM Study Tour to London
The Master of Public Policy and Management (MPPM) students recently returned from a highly successful study tour to London, UK, which took place from May 28 to June 4. This immersive experience included engaging lectures delivered by esteemed faculty from University College London (UCL) and the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), as well as insights from practitioners in the medical sector.
Students participated in discussions on critical topics such as water management, business management, regulatory governance, and medical policy. The diverse array of lectures provided invaluable knowledge and sparked meaningful conversations among students.
In addition to academic sessions, students had the unique opportunity to visit renowned organisations, including Google, the British Museum, and Westminster. These visits enriched their understanding of real-world applications of policy and management principles.
Feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing that the lectures and organisational visits were not only informative but also instrumental in enhancing their educational journey. Students stated, "The experience was truly beneficial and has broadened our perspectives. We got opportunities to talk to the locals as well."
The MPPM programme is committed to providing students with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, preparing them for impactful careers in public policy and management. The study tour to London will be infused in its 3-credit bearing elective course PPG6031 Overseas Experiential Learning in 2025/26 and onwards.
