Master of Public Administration

I am a graduate of Master in Public Administration, year of 2019. The program was amazing as well as academic team of the School of Public Policy. The program is designed for working professionals with various backgrounds and interests which makes this program unique. Your groupmates are going to be from different age groups and work environments, but they will all share the same goal of succeeding in their career as well as sharpening their skills. Also this kind of diverse environment gives you a great chance to learn about other’s experiences and grasp an opinion on how dilemmas in civil service or public policy are solved in their organizations and companies. Professor’s were great from the very first day, and became our friends by the end of the program. All the books and materials used were in compliance with the international best practices and this opinion comes from a person who did his bachelor’s in California back in 2015. If you are seeking for a program that can challenge your professionalism do not hesitate to apply for this program or choose NU as your next place to start your studies.

It was a good time!

Hello! I studied at this university from 2009 to 2012, specializing in the organization of transportation, motion and the exploration of transport. It was a bachelor. I entered the university after graduating from college in this speciality, and I particularly liked that the teachers tried to expand their knowledge and gave tasks to complicate their implementation. Also worth mentioning is that I was given the opportunity to be the first chairman of the student council of the campus and develop its charter.
