Celebrating 10 Years of the MPP Programme!
July 22, 2024
NLSIU, Bengaluru is celebrating 10 years of the Master’s Programme in Public Policy (MPP) this year! Launched in 2014, the two-year interdisciplinary MPP programme focuses on the interface between policy, social sciences, and the law. Through this programme, NLSIU trains young professionals to become policy practitioners capable of supporting inclusive and sustainable development. The MPP programme is the first non-law degree that NLS offered. This Academic Year, we have welcomed our 10th batch at a time when the degree is undergoing a thorough transformation with a very rigorous admissions process, new faculty and continuous improvement to academic curriculum and processes.
To celebrate a decade of this programme, the MPP faculty along with alumni are organising a series of webinars to share more about their shared experiences of being part of the MPP programme, their experiences, and their trajectories after the programme.
