Overview

The Master of Global Affairs (MGA) program is a two-year professional program that equips students with a sophisticated understanding of the larger political, economic, and social contexts of global affairs and with the skills necessary to work strategically and effectively within the evolving global system. Focused on five pillars of Global Security, Global Development, Global Justice and Human Rights, Global Markets, and Innovation Policy, students will gain the tools needed to have a real-world impact.

The Munk School’s prestigious Master of Public Policy (MPP) brings together an impressive array of students and faculty for a two-year, full time program that bridges Canadian and global policy. In addition to a paid summer internship and a wide range of career support services, students develop core competencies considered essential for policy practice and take electives from both within the Munk School and in the broader University. Visiting public sector leaders along with a renowned multidisciplinary faculty bridge theory and real-world experience, providing contact with senior professionals in government and the broader public, private, and community sectors. Students may also apply to the combined JD/MPP degree program as well as pursue collaborative specializations with other graduate departments.

A Munk School education, located in the heart of downtown Toronto and in close proximity to an extraordinary concentration of policy leaders, will empower students to achieve their professional and personal goals.
