Public Policy Fellowship

Who should apply?​

The Public Policy Fellowship is designed to support the professional development of senior public service officers, such as Deputy Secretaries, Senior Directors, Directors, or their equivalent.​

Why should you apply?​

The Public Policy Fellowship offers a uniquely powerful opportunity for problem-solving on policy issues, professional development, network building, and access to expertise.​

Some of the benefits include:​

• Unrivalled access to academic thought leaders in their respective fields.
• Joint exploration of rigorous and multi-disciplinary solutions to policy issues.
• Challenge to thinking.
• Ongoing privileged access to academics and researchers.
• Access to exclusive Fellowship events.

How does it work?​​

LKYSPP Public Policy Fellows will be asked to come up with three to five policy questions. Thereafter, LKYSPP will arrange one-to-one meetings with selected academics/researchers in LKYSPP/NUS based on the relevance of their work to the policy questions, as well as for the heterogeneity of perspectives and multidisciplinary insights they bring.​

Each Fellow’s experience is inimitable, and guided by the policy questions and opportunities the Fellow chooses to develop.

Enrolment fees ​

The participation fee for the Public Policy Fellowship is priced at S$1,000, payable at the end of the programme. ​

Membership in the programme will be kept to a small number to ensure that Fellows receive full attention and a tailored schedule of meetings with academics/researchers crafted by LKYSPP in consultation with the Fellows.​
