DEALINE FOR PHD PROGRAMMES: OCTOBER 30, 2009

DEALINE FOR MPP PROGRAMME: NOVEMBER 13, 2009

Master and Doctoral Scholarships in Public Policy at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore

The University of Central Asia (UCA) and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore (LKYSPP) announce a partnership to develop Central Asian scholars in the field of public policy. The two universities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on UCA’s Central Asian Faculty Development Programme (CAFDP) that provides full scholarships for Central Asian students in LKY’s Public Policy Master’s and Doctoral programmes.

UCA’s CAFDP is designed to ensure that scholars from Central Asia with top international academic credentials are strongly represented in the University’s faculty. Graduates will be given preferential consideration for academic appointments in UCA’s Graduate School of Development and/or undergraduate School of Arts and Sciences. Students completing their Master degree are expected to continue their studies in the PhD programme.

Scholarships are contingent upon gaining admission to LKYSPP which is solely based on merit and subject to the University admission criteria. Applicants from Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan are strongly encouraged to apply. Application forms and further information about UCA’s CAFDP and LKYSPP’s programmes can be obtained by writing to the CAFDP coordinator at facultydev@ucentralasia.org. Completed applications for PhD programmes must be received by October 30, 2009 and applications for MPP programme must be received by November 13, 2009.

Lee Kuan Yew School Programmes in Public Policy

The National University of Singapore is ranked amongst the world’s top 20 universities (Times Higher Educational Supplement, 2006). The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy was developed in partnership with Harvard University’s John F Kennedy School of Government. The School, with a diverse faculty drawn from all over the world, offers rigorous multi-disciplinary programmes at both the Master’s and Doctoral levels.

The 2-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) programme provides a strong foundation in conceptual and analytical skills for those with an interest in understanding and influencing how public policy choices are made. A typical MPP class brings together 60 talented and committed students – many in the early phases of their careers – from Asia and beyond to study with expert and dedicated faculty. Immersed in this richly diverse environment, and meeting often in small study groups, MPP students learn to confidently apply economic and management ideas and tools to analyse, design and manage efficient and effective public policies and organizations. The School’s emphasis on problem-based learning and use of case studies focuses students’ minds on complex real-world problems rather than simple textbook examples. MPP students also have ample opportunity to hone their skills in achieving a consensus for action through effective oral and written communications.

To further strengthen its contribution to governance, the School’s PhD programme bolsters research capabilities in public policy that foster a deeper understanding of the complex issues facing public, private and not-for-profit sectors in Asia. The PhD programme seeks to strengthen the capability and effectiveness of public policy research. It equips candidates with the necessary theoretical frameworks, research methods and tools to conduct scientific inquiry to address contemporary public policy issues.

Public Policy at UCA

Public policy is a new field in Central Asia. At UCA’s three campuses (Khorog, Tajikistan; Naryn, Kyrgyz Republic; and Tekeli, Kazakhstan) it will be part of the core curriculum of the Master’s of Science in Economic Development offered by the Graduate School of Development, a focus of research at the School’s Institute of Public Administration, and a cross-cutting component of several graduate and undergraduate specializations.

About the University of Central Asia

The University is a secular, private, not-for-profit, and self-governing educational institution established in 2000 through an International Treaty by His Highness the Aga Khan and the Presidents of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan, ratified by the respective parliaments, and registered with the United Nations. The Presidents are the Patrons of UCA and His Highness is the Founding Patron and Chancellor. UCA was created to offer an internationally recognized standard of higher education in Central Asia and create knowledgeable, skilled, and creative graduates who will contribute leadership, ideas, and innovations to the transitioning economies and communities of the region.

UCA is comprised of the School of Arts and Sciences – offering undergraduate education, the Graduate School of Development, and the already operational School of Professional and Continuing Education (SPCE) – offering professional and vocational qualifications for young people and adults from the campus communities. Undergraduate and graduate degree programmes will be launched once the campuses facilities are constructed.

For further information about UCA or LKYSPP, please visit www.ucentralasia.org or www.spp.nus.edu.sg UCA’s Central Administration is located at 207 Panfilova Street, 720040 Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic; Tel. 996-312-691-822, ext. 420; Fax: 996-312-696-029.
