The Mundus MAPP programme enhanced my functional and technical competences in Public Policy and Development Programming. The programme is very comprehensive, with the right mix of theory and practice. The double MA has widened opportunities for both employment and further academic endeavors.

I went through the Institute of Social Studies and Central European University mobility track. Quite an exciting tack, both academically and socially. The ISS was very robust in the theoretical underpinnings of the development discourse - very useful when one engages in both formal and informal academic debates. On the other hand, CEU was very much hands-on in its approach to Public Policy and practice, exposing students to real life situations in the policy and development field. An interesting and very useful combination of reputable institutions of higher learning. The learning environment at CEU is, put simply, amazing and the Budapest experience is heavenly!
