Two years of intense MPP study have equipped me with a solid base of public policy knowledge as well as analytical skills, making me more confident to carry out research projects in the field. I was encouraged to explore a wide range of public issues both in and out of class, and this really helped me to discover my research interest and enhanced my critical thinking when facing issues with significant trade-offs. Besides, as a MPP student, I was able to have close contact with course instructors and have the opportunity to participate in some research projects. All of these experiences are essential for my further study and research.
