IPPP International Public Policy Program 1-year Track
GSIR
A one-year mid-career program designed for future governmental leaders in collaboration with JICA
The International Public Policy Program is a one-year mid-career program, designed for diplomats and government officials of countries in Asia, the Pacific, and around the world. It is a program that has been developed through close consultation between IUJ and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Students in this program will choose their concentration areas (either "International Affairs" or "Public Policy"), depending on their professional backgrounds and career goals, and study various disciplinary-related courses in their respective fields. They will also be able to take a variety of issue-oriented courses as electives, choosing from a wide range of offerings at IUJ. In summer, toward the end of their one-year study program, students will participate in intensive capstone courses, some of which will be delivered by specially invited experts in their field. Students will be given opportunities to discuss global issues, such as the changing international political and economic landscape and global environmental challenges. Thus, the program will not only encourage students to look back on and systematize their professional experiences, but also enable students to incorporate these experiences into a body of knowledge with which they can further their professional capabilities. The program will also help the students to develop their capabilities to think about and discuss various international public policy issues from long-term, broad, and diverse perspectives.
