Our aim is for CPP to evolve as a center for discussion on policy issues and policy research.
We have just embarked on our unique and exciting journey and as a ‘start-up’, we are charged with energy and open to innovative ideas and experimentation. To help us in our mission of building the institution’s research capacity and engaging meaningfully with Qatar, the region, and the global community, we are joined by outstanding faculty and a diverse and engaged student body.

I was particularly attracted to the interdisciplinary nature of the Master of Public Policy program as the curriculum and the courses offered align well with my interests and objectives. The coursework will help me increase my knowledge and learn the skills necessary to contribute to the development and modernization of my home country. Besides core policy courses, the program offers the opportunity for professional development through the cooperation it has built with various organizations in Qatar.
