Students in the MPA and MDM programmes may specialise in several areas including International Development, Development Finance, International Relations, Monitoring and Evaluation, Development Finance, Public Sector Governance, Human Resource Management, Rural Enterprise Development, Public Policy Analysis and Education Sector Management.

The minimum requirement for admission is a good first degree. Those applying for admission into the Executive programmes must also have at least four years of related work experience.


Programmes are delivered during the day, in the evening or in four, three-week modular sessions. The MDM may also be completed in one year (12 consecutive months).
