Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses
MUNDUS MAPP
Erasmus Mundus Masters in Public Policy
Duration: Up to 2 years (depending on internship)
Course description:
MUNDUS MAPP embeds the scholarly field of transnational public policy into a European context. The
degree of political integration makes the EU a unique laboratory for studying public policy beyond the
nation-state. Policy-making in the European space also involves the interaction of diverse cultural,
political and bureaucratic structures. MUNDUS MAPP provides students access to this European
model of transnational governance. These processes involve tremendous challenges to policy-makers
but also create an enormous potential for policy learning and transfer. MUNDUS MAPP provides a
systematic understanding of how political institutions, processes and public policies operate and
interact from the global political economy through to national and local levels with a direct focus on
European engagements at these levels of governance.
Four universities from Britain, Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain deliver this programme. MUNDUS
MAPP offers:
1. A foundation year in policy studies and research methods at either the University of York OR the
Institute of Social Studies in the Hague, finishing with a thesis;
2. An annual summer school, taught by consortium faculty and Erasmus Mundus visiting scholars;
3. A second specialised year in the transnational and international dimensions of policy at either the
Central European University, Budapest OR at the Barcelona Institute of International Studies, finishing
with an applied research or policy paper.
4. An internship at a relevant policy institution where students will have the chance to gain practical
experience in policy analysis.
Strong conceptual foundations combined with practice and policy-oriented learning provides MUNDUS
MAPP graduates with skills and subject-specific knowledge for embarking on or furthering professional
careers as policy-makers or policy-analysts in politics, the civil service, international organisation or in
the corporate and non-governmental sectors. Graduates will have in-depth knowledge of European
policy making milieus, and solid institutional and personal networks that will take them forward to
leadership roles within Europe and the world.
MUNDUS MAPP collaborates with the Framework 6 GARNET Research Network of Excellence:
‘Global Governance, Regionalisation and Regulation’.
