Career Field
The MPGPP develops professionals capable of tackling the main contemporary challenges of states and the non-state public sector in implementing public policies and improving the quality of services delivered to citizens. Technical foundations are combined with practical applications, in order to cover the current agenda of management, government and public policy.
The program is designed for experienced professionals who deal with public issues at state, third sector or private organizations and who understand that new challenges and responsibilities require complementary education. There is interaction between participants, and the professors recommend sources to deepen and integrate students’ knowledge and concrete experiences.
The technical foundations are not just aimed at educating researchers and professors, but also developing high-level professionals who are committed to improving public sector services in Brazil. This objective applies to all the program’s activities, including the final paper, which is intended to solve practical problems faced by public organizations.

There are two course modalities, with the same structure and curricular requirements. The Regular modality is designed for people who wish to balance the MPGPP with their professional activities, while the Intensive modality is aimed at people who can take a leave of absence to study full time.

-
If my interest is in a specific line of research, is there a possibility of not getting a placement in that area?
Selection is not done taking into view the entry of certain lines of research; this is a general selection. The division into lines of research has the purpose of organizing teaching activities, as well as signaling the topics of greater affinity for each group of teachers, thus considering the distribution of classes and the orientation of final works. In any case, these are not watertight divisions, so that teachers from different lines can develop activities together.
-
Is the course more focused on social sciences?
The course has a significant load of basic social sciences (political science and sociology), but also of applied social sciences (economics, administration and law), in addition to a subject of quantitative methods and another of qualitative methods.
-
Is there a program on the mandatory activities that we are going to develop? Is there a minimum number of articles to be produced during classes? Are there other extracurricular requirements? Is there a presentation of seminars during classes?
The requirements of each subject varies, so there is no single type of requirement that is valid for all. Some subjects require a final assignment and some intermediate assignments; others require only a final work; others ask for exercises or other types of activities throughout the course and a final exam. In view of the professional character of the master's degree, the general orientation of the subjects is to give out work focused on application and practical problems.
Some teachers choose to do seminars, usually in some classes of the subject, but not during all of them. This also varies a lot, considering the specific content of each class and the style of each teacher.
-
Approximately how long after the conclusion of the classes will I be able to present my dissertation to the examining board?
After completing the subjects, students have up to two months to complete the writing of the final works and file them. From then on, another month for the defense and other assessments.
-
Are people who complete the professional master’s able to then do a doctorate?
Yes, they are. The professional master’s is a graduate course, and so it enables you to go on to do doctoral programs, including ones with an academic profile.
