A PhD in International Public Policy is a research-intensive doctoral program that focuses on the design, analysis, and evaluation of public policies in a global context. The program integrates perspectives from political science, economics, international relations, and public administration to examine issues such as global governance, international development, policy-making processes, and comparative public policy. Doctoral candidates conduct independent research using qualitative and quantitative methods, case studies, and policy analysis to address complex global challenges and contribute original insights to the field of international policy. Graduates are prepared for careers in academic research, international organizations, governmental agencies, policy think tanks, and consultancy, as well as for further scholarly work in public policy and governance.
