MA (Public Policy & Sustainable Development)
The MA in Public Policy and Sustainable Development is a two-year Master’s programme being offered by TERI University, New Delhi since 2006. It is a uniquely designed programme aimed at participants entering the phase of policy-making in their careers. The MA (PPSD) builds a robust theoretical knowledge base in public policy supported by case studies from the Indian context. It is distinct in structure, objectives and pedagogy from other programmes in Public Administration. It is sponsored by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India.
Programme Overview
The MA (Public Policy and Sustainable Development)- MA(PP&SD) - programme, offered by the TERI SAS encompasses a comprehensive and well-structured two-year curriculum on public policy formulation, analysis, evaluation, management, and links with development concerns. Policy decisions by government officials at all levels are required to be increasingly multifaceted especially in the light of economic reforms and the need to ensure that decision-making contributes to sustainability in the development process.
Private not-for-profit and for-profit business entities also have a bearing on development related policy decisions. To respond effectively to these issues, civil servants and those engaged in the non-governmental sectors, need to (1) be trained in the politics and economics of public policy and in sophisticated methods and tools of analysis, and (2) refresh their knowledge of the substantive development issues at hand.
For students who opt for Post Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Sustainable Development Students who enroll for the PG diploma in Public Policy & Sustainable Development will need to complete the following requirements -
(These requirements will also hold for students who have enrolled for the MA (Public Policy & Sustainable Development) and who exercise an option of exiting the programme after completing the course work and the summer project/minor project.
