Overview
About the programme
The Master’s Program in Economic and Public Policy from the University of Tsukuba has been offered for two decades, making it the university’s longest-running English-language degree program.
It has been recognized as a ‘flagship’ for the university’s internationalization and was awarded the 2013 University President’s Award for its long-term commitment to globalization of the university and excellence in education.
Established with funding from the Japanese government, World Bank and Asian Development Bank, the program offers full scholarships to professionals from developing countries who aspire to take leading roles in the economic and social development of their regions.
About 15 students are selected every two years for the program, from an applicant pool of up to 170. Scholars can choose one of two tracks — economic policy or public policy — depending on whether they want to develop skills in quantitative analysis and econometrics or crave a broader, multidisciplinary approach to economics that includes social and political dimensions.
Faculty members include Motoko Shuto, who specializes in the fields of politics and international relations in Southeast Asia and transnational labor migration in East Asia, and Mari Minowa, a former economist with the World Bank who specializes in the fields of development economics, social sector policies in developing countries and the economics of Latin America.
