Overview

BENEFITS

The program provides a balanced mix of academic courses introducing the methodological and conceptual frameworks, primarily at M1 level, and specialist and applied courses at M2 level.Special emphasis is placed on the acquisition of modern techniques of assessing public policy (microeconomic tools, quantitative methods,…). However, all the disciplines that contribute to the understanding and assessment of these policies are tackled: history, political sciences, sociology, the expertise of government practitioners.

Most of the teaching staff are affiliated to CEPREMAP, to French government agencies or international organizations, and therefore play an active role in the design and evaluation of public policies.
