Public Management Study Abroad Programs

Public management is the degree to pursue abroad, whether your interests are domestic or international. Studying public management abroad will incorporate a mastery of communications, negotiation, marketing, and leadership. In fact, you’d be surprised what celebs have grown their careers by studying public management, public administration, or public affairs; for example, actress Ashley Judd went to Harvard and spent a semester in Paris, and actor Bill O’Reilly rocks an MPA and spent his junior year in London. Even if you don’t ever become #famous, it’s still worthwhile to follow in their degree-totin’, well-traveled, public-management-lovin’ footsteps.

A Guide to Studying Public Management Abroad

Why Study Public Management Abroad

To make the most of a public management degree, going abroad is a wise choice. A student with a globalized degree is likely to have more professional opportunities ahead of them than a student who did not take advantage of the chance to study public management abroad. Anyone who works in public service, with all types of people, from all sorts of different backgrounds, need to have the capacity to look at things from a multicultural perspective.

Imagine that you are working for the Department of Education, perhaps for a small town in your home country, and a sister-city department from overseas plans a visit to learn, observe, and better understand how things operate in your organization. The visitors may have different standards of living, a unique culture, and different ways of communicating. As their host and a professional representative, it’s important for you to understand how to best mediate the visit. You’ll need to do this in a way that all colleagues can gain from positively and prove that the visit was a worthwhile investment of everyone’s time. So, how can studying public management abroad, be particularly advantageous for you?

Studying public management abroad allows you the necessary environments to apply what you have learned in your first year courses, but with an even more diverse population and in a more meaningful way. It opens the door for you to meet international students, professors and people who are interested in the same topic, but who can offer varying perspectives on the subject. Being in a place where you can learn about all these differences and expand upon the way that you view your course content, better prepares you for the future.

Throughout my travels and study abroad experiences, I can confirm that this was truly the most eye-opening experience I have ever had. The education and research skills acquired through this program are invaluable and one of a kind. And when it came to wildlife, you will truly have some of the best sightings in your life. My group was bless enough to see leopard seals, Emperor and Adelie penguins, and even humpback whales bubble netting! Everything I learned from this trip, from travel skills to group communication to even research structure has all been applied and reapplied to my degree. If you want a once-in-a-lifetime experience with learning skills you will constantly apply, look no further than this program.
