Master of Public Policy and Global Affairs

Our Program

Students will work with real policy clients on real policy issues through the Global Policy Project.

The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) was founded in 2017 and acts as an interdisciplinary, collaborative hub that contributes to developing policies and solutions to complex global and local issues. Our public policy research and creative activity informs our teaching and focuses on discovery and innovation.

From the start, we have aspired to enhance UBC’s role in pursuing excellence in research, learning, and engagement to foster global citizenship and advance a sustainable and just society across British Columbia, Canada and the world. We seek equip future policy makers with a profound understanding of policy-making processes through a solid foundation of rigorous knowledge acquisition, policy analysis, career development, and experiential learning.
