The Erasmus Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP) is a 2-year-long international Masters course that embeds the nascent field of transnational public policy into a European context. It is funded by the European Commission, and operated by a consortium of four leading European institutions:
* the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest (Hungary) as coordinating institution,
* the Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) in Spain;
* the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) of Erasmus University Rotterdam, located in The Hague (Netherlands);
* the University of York in the UK.
The Mundus MAPP study program lasts two years. The first or foundation year is spent either at the ISS, the Netherlands, or at the University of York. Having completed their courses and a thesis students participate in a summer school, and move for a second academic year either at the IBEI or to CEU in Budapest, Hungary. Students undertake an internship normally after the second academic year.
