“When I first heard about the BPAPM program I did not know what to expect. However, the structure of the program as well as the different specializations it offered gave me an opportunity to really understand which field I wanted to pursue.”

From climate change, to war and conflict, to housing and homelessness, the world is facing numerous public policy challenges. Public policy – the decisions that governments make, or fail to make – affects the severity of these issues and our ability to navigate them.

PAPM educates public policy makers. Our graduates are working to address these challenges as policy analysts (who analyze issues and advise governments); elected officials; leaders of advocacy groups; researchers and university professors.

Our students learn about public policy from a number of perspectives – from public policy studies, to economics, to history, to Indigenous studies and political science. They have a depth and breadth of knowledge which enables them to contribute to policy making at all levels of government in Canada and in private, non-profit, and public organizations here and overseas.

The Faculty of Public and Global Affairs is unique in Canada, attracting future leaders who go on to work in government, media, nonprofit organizations and much more. Our students learn from experts in their field and have the chance to pursue job placements within national and international organizations, as well as study abroad. Learn more about the undergraduate degrees we offer in FPGA.
