Highly qualified graduates who have obtained a first higher education degree are offered the opportunity to obtain a master&#8217;s degree in subjects that are particularly significant with regard to social, political and economic development in their countries of origin. The skills and experiences gained in Germany will enable the funded individuals to contribute to establishing economic and social forms that are democratically-oriented and designed to overcome social inequalities in their home countries. With the Helmut-Schmidt-Programme, the DAAD strives to contribute to promoting good governance and civil society structures in developing and emerging countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"c235757\" class=\"frame frame-default frame-type-textpic frame-layout-0 \">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"\">M.A. Governance and Public Policy<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"ce-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ce-textpic ce-center ce-above\">\n<div class=\"ce-gallery\" data-ce-columns=\"1\" data-ce-images=\"1\">\n<div class=\"ce-outer\">\n<div class=\"ce-inner\">\n<div class=\"ce-row\">\n<div class=\"ce-column\">\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"image-86250\" class=\"image-embed-item img-fluid \" src=\"https:\/\/www.uni-passau.de\/fileadmin\/_processed_\/0\/7\/csm_MA_Governance_ccc5f8ad99.jpg\" alt=\"Students\" width=\"992\" height=\"286\" data-wow-offset=\"150\" data-wow-duration=\"1s\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ce-bodytext\">\n<p>As one of only eight institutions of higher learning in Germany, the University of Passau and its study programme in Governance and Public Policy (M.A.) has been a proud member of the Helmut-Schmidt-Programme network since 2010.<br \/>\nThe study programme\u00a0<a class=\"en-internal-link\" title=\"Opens an internal link in the current window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-passau.de\/en\/ma-govern\/\">Governance and Public Policy (M.A.)<\/a>\u00a0has a two-year-curriculum.
