Master Degree Scholarship Program in Economic and Public Policy (PEPP) of the University of Tsukuba, Japan

The objective of the Program in Economic and Public Policy (PEPP) is to provide, within the time frame of 18 months, training and the necessary skills for the conception, design, and implementation of development policies. Our focus is on International Development with a trans-disciplinary approach to the economic and social problems of developing countries and former socialist countries. We endeavor to contribute to the creation of an international community of highly trained professionals addressing the daily challenges of economic and social development. Participants from previous cohorts have taken up prestigious positions back in their home countries, some as policy managers, others as researchers or scholars in academic institutions. We expect, together with our sponsoring institutions, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, many more talented and motivated professionals to join us and to apply their newly enhanced knowledge and skills to help accelerate the pace of economic and social development in their countries.
