Future of Europe Stipend

The European Unioin currently faces challenges that demand innovative governance concepts and a new quality of leadership. The Hertie School recognizes the role of young leaders in public policy responding to these challenges. We have therefore introduced the new Future of Europe stipend, aimed at young European Union professionals.

The Master of Public Policy prepares future leaders to find innovative policy solutions in the realm of economic cooperation, reform of the welfare state, and new modes of democratic governance. If you want to take the lead in the interface of the public, private, and civil society sectors, the MPP presents a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, skills and competences.

The stipend covers the full tuition costs (27.000 EUR) for the two-year MPP programme.
