Apply for this flexible executive master’s programme for experienced professionals. The priority deadline is 1 June and the final deadline is 1 August.
Our online admissions portal is now open for Executive Master of Public Administration applicants. If you already have several years of work experience under your belt (3 years minimum, 9 is the average) and you’re looking for a flexible degree to help advance your career in policy, administration, business, global affairs or a related field, check out the Executive MPA!
You can complete the programme full time in one year or part time in 2-4 years. You can also continue working as you complete your degree, due to the programme’s block schedule format: courses are taught in condensed modules, each for few days at a time. And if you’re not ready to delve into the full programme just yet, book Executive MPA Courses individually or in combination as a certificate for maximum flexibility! The credits earned and fees paid for these can be transferred to the full Executive MPA degree later.
To find out more about how your studies at the Hertie School can accommodate your schedule and individual circumstances, read our conversation with the Executive MPA Programme Manager on the programme's flexibility.
