What if your biggest assignment came from a real client?

That's exactly what happens in HKUST's Master of Public Policy (MPP). Through the year-long Policy Analysis Exercise, you'll work in teams to tackle real policy challenges, develop professional recommendations, and deliver solutions for client organisations.

The conversations you have while pursuing a master’s degree will shape where you go next. That’s why every MPP student at HKUST's Division of Public Policy is paired with a faculty advisor through the MPP Student Advisory Program, with opportunities to connect beyond the classroom through enrichment activities and luncheon talks.

What if you could learn from someone even the media turns to for insights on sustainability?

Meet Dr. Alvin Li.

His expertise in sustainable consumption and social innovation has been featured across Southeast Asia and Europe — and in the HKUST Division of Public Policy (PPOL) MPP classroom, he brings those real-world perspectives directly to students.

Through debates, case studies, and interactive discussions, you'll learn how to think like a policymaker.

The JRFS provides support to awardees for 24 months to conduct full-time postdoctoral research, with an optional extension of up to 12 months upon request. The annual stipend of approximately HKD 430,000 (equivalent to USD 54,810) covers the awardee's basic salary, along with a conference and research-related travel allowance of approximately HKD 13,600 (equivalent to USD 1,733).

You grab a glass of water without thinking twice. As you should. But behind every sip is a system designed to keep it safe.

And you can be a part of that system with HKUST's Division of Public Policy (PPOL). Here, future policy leaders develop interdisciplinary solutions to tackle pressing health, environmental, and societal challenges across Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Asia.

What does award-winning public policy look like?

For HKUST's Division of Public Policy (PPOL) students Hu Lingyi and Liu Yangyang, it meant combining public policy with GIS-based spatial analysis to explore smarter, more sustainable urban planning — an approach that earned them Second Prize at the Global Sustainability Challenge (Asia-Pacific Final).

Here, all MPP students learn to turn complex ideas into practical solutions with real-world impact.
