Hertie School of Governance

The Hertie School of Governance is a German private independent graduate school located in Berlin's Friedrichstraße. It has a right to confer doctoral degrees. Half of the students in the Hertie School come from abroad (with more than 95 countries represented among alumni and currently enrolled students), and the working language is English.

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) programme offers to teach on corporate relations & government affairs in the public, civil society and private sectors. The programme is intended for students pursuing a future career dealing professionally with problems of modern governance, international relations, advanced economics and politics. Upon completion of the two-year programme, students receive the Master of Public Policy (MPP). Prospective students have typically studied economics, law or political science, but candidates from every field of study apply for admission.

The Master of International Affairs (MIA) programme, a new programme added in fall 2015, focuses on international relations. It prepares for positions requiring a profound understanding of today’s global policy challenges.
