New One-year MA in European Public Policy

Johns Hopkins University SAIS Masters in European Public Policy

Are you interested in finding a career in or around the institutions of Europe? Would you like to gain more professional insight into the European Union? The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies has a new one-year MA program focused on European public policy that is carefully designed to meet your professional requirements.

This programme is directed by Sir Michael Leigh – a career civil servant at the European Commission who was knighted by the British Crown for his contribution to European enlargement at the conclusion of his time in office as Director- General. The programme includes both academics and practitioners with long experience working on the European Union and with close connections to Brussels, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Luxembourg and Strasbourg.

The programme is hosted at the SAIS Europe campus and offers the opportunity to participate in study trips and career treks to London, Geneva, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan, and Rome. SAIS Europe is also home to some 175 other MA students from more than 40 different countries working on different aspects of international relations and public policy. You would have the opportunity to focus on the institutions, history, law, and policy of the European Union and would become part of a network of thousands of foreign policy professionals in the private and public sector that spans the globe.

The admissions process is rolling and the number of slots in the first intake is limited. Places will be offered on a first-come, first-reviewed basis – with quick decisions to facilitate planning. Applications are accepted so long as places are available until 15 April.
