The Master’s in International Program in Public Economics (IPPE) at Kyushu University is a two-year English-taught postgraduate program offered by the Graduate School of Economics that focuses on developing advanced analytical and research competencies in public sector economics within a global policy context. The curriculum integrates specialised coursework in areas such as public finance, economic policy analysis, taxation systems, development economics, welfare economics, and international economic governance, enabling students to critically assess government fiscal policies, institutional frameworks, and socio-economic development strategies. Emphasising quantitative analysis, econometric methods, and policy evaluation, students undertake supervised research and complete a Master’s thesis that contributes to evidence-based public policy formulation, preparing graduates for careers in government ministries, international financial institutions, research organisations, policy think tanks, and public administration sectors.
