Free tote bags! Photo corners! Q&As! Snacks!
On Saturday 18 March 2023, UNU-MERIT opened its doors to the public for the second Master’s Open Day of the academic year, welcoming potential students to find out more about our MSc in Public Policy and Human Development programme (MPP for short) by visiting the institute in-person and tuning in online.
Two informative and Q&A sessions, tours around the institute, and stations from each of our five MPP specializations served to show how our MPP programme can realize a wide range of personal, professional and academic goals. Meanwhile, our MPP Programme Director Julieta Marotta, staff, representatives of student groups such as Demos and UNSA, and alumni chatted with visitors about what life is like studying at a United Nations University.
With an excellent turnout, we were proud to see so many students interested in using their master’s experience to contribute to the SDGs and a more positive global future. We look forward to welcoming some of our visitors in the programme’s next cohort, starting September!
