Through rigorous academic programs, cutting-edge research, and practical experiences, we strive to provide our students with the skills and knowledge needed to address complex policy challenges and drivepositive change. 

At PPAD, we offer a dynamic and interdisciplinary environment where students can engage with a diverse faculty who are not only scholars but also practitioners with real-world experience. Our curriculum is designed to be both theoretical and applied, ensuring that our graduates are well-equipped to enter and excel in various sectors, including government, non-profit organizations, international institutions, and the private sector.

We pride ourselves on our strong connections with the public policy community, both locally and internationally. These partnerships provide our students with unique opportunities for internships, fieldwork, and collaborative projects that enhance their learning and professional development.

As the chair of this vibrant and forward-thinking department, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive academic community where every member can thrive. I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, faculty, research initiatives, and the many ways you can get involved with PPAD.
