The MPP program features core instruction on a peer-cohort learning model. In addition to the core material considered essential for policy practice, students take electives both within the school and in the broader university. Integrating seminars are led by faculty members. Invited visiting public sector leaders and external researchers bridge theory and practice, providing contact with senior professionals in government and the broader public, private, and community sectors. The program also provides access to courses and research facilities available in many other graduate departments, centres, and institutes across the University.
