Policy Meets Data: What an MPP Methods Class Really Looks Like

What does the quantitative and analytical side of a Master in Public Policy (MPP) really look like - and do you need to be good at maths to succeed?

This webinar will address some of the questions prospective students often have about the MPP, from how much maths, statistics, and data analysis the programme requires, to how students use data and analytical methods to tackle real-world policy problems.

Drawing on examples from the Methods and Tools for Policy Analysis course, we will show how students move from a policy question to evidence and analysis, and ultimately to an evidence-based policy recommendation.

Whether you are wondering if an MPP might be ‘too quantitative’ for you, or simply curious about what studying policy analysis looks like in practice, this session will give you a clearer picture of what to expect.
