Our students learned various knowledge and skills of policies, data application, municipal finance, negotiation and leadership, etc., which are of great value for their career as leaders in Hong Kong public affairs and regional governance in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.”

Molly Smith, PWC 2021, MPP Class of 2023

“I was surprised by how quickly I was able to start incorporating what I learned in the program into analyzing the news and writing I read daily, especially guest essays or op-eds. Very quickly I started to internalize what I learned about structure, narrative, voice, tone and persuasion. It's been incredibly helpful to have that background. It felt productive to take what I was reading in the news and incorporate it into my own writing.”
