THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY AND GLOBAL AFFAIRS (SPPGA)


The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) is a leading centre for innovation in governance and global public policy.

The School is home to the Institute for Asian Research, which includes 5 distinct research centres focusing on Southeast Asia, India and South Asia, China, Korea, and Japan, as well as the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI), the Office of Regional and International Community Engagement (ORICE), and the Liu Institute for Global Affairs.

With a university-wide mandate, the school offers a wide range of non-degree and non-academic educational programming for students, faculty, staff, and the community to engage in.


SPPGA's flagship academic program, the Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs (MPPGA), is a rigorous professional global public policy and global affairs program.

The MPPGA and specialized programs run by the school operate within a highly competitive international market; we compete for top Canadian and international students against highly-ranked global schools.

This competitive environment, combined with high student expectations, demands the highest service levels.

The program offers an exceptional opportunity for students to examine complex political, socioeconomic, environmental and cultural issues from a global perspective while taking into account important regional and local dynamics.

Academic work is complemented by a suite of supports for early and mid-career professionals such as career advising, work-integrated learning, skill development workshops, and networking opportunities to ready them for the next step in their careers as global changemakers.
