welcome

Dear Student,

I am delighted to warmly welcome you to the School of Public Policy as a new member of the CEU community!

When I first came to the Central European University, it was 1998, Budapest was a bustling city, and Hungary a place to be. CEU quickly established itself as a beacon of the transforming region, intellectually leading the transition towards democracy and freedom in this part of the world.

Those years were marked with success – free elections and the market economy became the norm.

But the society grew negligent and self-indulgent. Many took freedom for granted and forgot a key lesson that history repeat-edly teaches us: freedom does not come, nor stay, for free. It re-quires persistent vigilance; it has to be nurtured, and defended.

The growing danger many overlooked culminated when lex-CEU attempted to silence and shut down our University.

But we have passed that test with vigor and resilience which the authors of lex-CEU underestimated. Grossly.

CEU students, faculty, alumni, staff and friends all around the globe – including leading Hungarian and international academics, Nobel prize winners, presidents, prime ministers,

and other dignitaries – all raised their voices in defense of freedom, supporting our University.

For me, the defining moments were when we marched in the streets of Budapest with a group of SPP students and tens of thousands of CEU supporters. It was then when I realized that our message had been received by our students:

Have no fear. Fear is what debilitates efforts, what erects limits to and borders in our minds.

Respect the others and otherness. We come from different countries, backgrounds, gender, preferences or identities, but we all belong to one family, the human family of equals.

Balance power with responsibility. The more power you have, the more prudent you should be wielding it. Power can help, but also hurt.

Nurture trust. Trust is a prerequisite for fruitful interaction, including when collaborating on projects, but also, when reconciling various interests and preferences.

Back on those days when we marched, we had no fear, we marched as brothers and sisters, and we wielded great power in a very civilized and orderly manner.

And we prevailed! And I was profoundly proud of our students. That is because defenders of freedom lose, if and only if they give up. But we never did, and we never will.

The last academic year was a great year for our University. Many masters and a good number of PhD students have graduated and are now on their way to launch their careers, each of them contributing a unique piece to making a better world. Among them were about 80 graduates of the School of Public Policy, of which I am particularly proud.

welcome

I wish you a great academic year at SPP. I wish you lots of inspiration, perseverance, and courage. I wish you to never stop asking questions. I wish you many sunny days, and on the cloudy ones, may you find helping souls.

I hope you have read this foreword up to this point so that I can give you your first homework assignment at CEU’s School of Public Policy: Imagine you are given 20 seconds on a concert stage to address a crowd of 100,000 people. What would you tell them? Write it on a piece of paper, and keep that note in a safe place. I will come back to it. ☺

The School of Public Policy incorporates the Global Policy Academy (GPA), the Shattuck Center on Conflict, Negotiation and Recovery, and the Center for Media, Data and Society (CMDS). Faculty affiliated with these units contribute to SPP teaching and supervision. The student community is strongly encouraged to attend the public lectures and events organized by SPP centers, the School, and the wider University.

Global Policy Academy

SPP’s Global Policy Academy (GPA) organizes academically rigorous and policy-relevant certificate courses that are designed as hubs for sectoral dialogue and experience exchange, moderated by top professionals and open to policy-makers. Past courses have, for instance, looked at migration policy on the international, national, and local levels, dealt with legal empowerment of the poor, discussed harm reduction and decriminalization of drugs, and explored opportunities for policy improvements in extractive industries. MPA students have the option to apply on a competitive basis to GPA professional courses.

For the most updated GPA program please visit https://spp.ceu.edu/gpa-upcoming.

The Shattuck Center on Conflict, Negotiation and Recovery

The Shattuck Center brings together a group of academics, policymakers, activists, and researchers each year to develop an effective response to a pressing issue. The center is collaborative, focused, timely and responsive to the needs of communities hit by violent conflict. It develops policy tools that help as many as possible in these communities recover from conflict or protect themselves from violence. Currently the centers runs the Aleppo Project, which is an open collaboration among Syrian refugees, students, academics, policy experts and others to come up with ideas on how to rebuild urban life after conflict.

Conditions of Acceptance

By enrolling in the School of Public Policy, students agree to abide by the rules and procedures outlined in this document, as well as the general rules and procedures of Central European University. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with CEU’s student policies, which can be found at http://www.ceu.edu/documents.

Conduct Within the SPP Community

SPP is committed to diversity, tolerance and dignity within our School community. No form of harassment, discrimination or prejudiced behavior is tolerated including that based on race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, disability, age, or any factors prohibited by law. The Code of Ethics (http://documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1009-1v1402-0) and the CEU Policy on Harassment (https://documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1402-1) set out the guiding values and principles of the CEU community and the procedures that are followed when these are violated.

CEU is committed to ensuring equal educational opportunities and that students with disabi-li- ties receive appropriate support. For more information about CEU’s services for disabled students and the Student Disability Policy visit http://www.ceu.edu/studentlife/disability.

Communication to Students from the School

Students receive important decisions relating to courses, programs, assessments, and School/University events and opportunities primarily by email sent to their CEU email address. Barring technical failure, it will be assumed that students have read all information distributed by electronic means. Students are expected to check their CEU email and pigeon holes (mail boxes) on a regular basis.

SPP’s website (http://spp.ceu.edu) contains detailed and routinely updated information about the School, curriculum, current courses, schedules, faculty members, as well as events and other news. Students should check the website regularly, from where they can also download handbooks and forms.

general ceu and

spp information

24

The School has a Facebook profi le at https://www.facebook.com/ceupublicpolicy. Students are encouraged to like our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CEUSchool, and to join our groups. SPP actively uses this platform to post information about admissions, CEU news and events, student stories, as well as job and internship opportunities.

Students can also join the SPP community on Twitter (@SPPCEU) and Youtube (https:// www.youtube.com/user/sppatceu), where we post news and stories about the SPP/CEU community as well as videos of public lectures and interviews with guest speakers.

Student Guidance

Students are encouraged to approach and discuss with SPP faculty problems, concerns, or feedback relating to course work, assessments, or the general learning environment. In the first instance, students should raise course/classroom related issues with the relevant faculty delivering the course. Alternatively, students can meet with their Program Director.

The Student Affairs Coordinator (one-year MAPP) and the Mundus MAPP Senior Program Manager (Mundus MAPP) are also available to advise students and direct them to the relevant offices and procedures. In case of personal problems, it is recommended that students contact CEU Counselors (contact information is available above). For specific administrative issues (such as residence permits, medical insurance, student records, etc.), students should approach the staff in the CEU Student Services.

Residence Permit

Students are responsible for ensuring that they have a valid residence permit while enrolled at CEU. The CEU Student Center assists enrolled students to acquire and extend residence permits (http://www.ceu.edu/studentlife/onlineorientation/visa). Hungarian immigration rules are restrictive. Student residence permits are usually granted only up to a couple of days beyond the length of their academic program.

general ceu and

spp information

25

Staying beyond the expiration date of a residence permit is illegal. It may cause unnecessary difficulties at border control and have consequences for any future entry into Hungary. If students wish to extend their residence beyond graduation they need to have compelling reasons to do so, such as guaranteed employment. Students are personally responsible for applying for an extension at the Immigration Office in advance of any deadlines. CEU is unable to provide any assistance with extending residence permits for purposes that are not required by the official curriculum and/or are beyond its deadlines.

Student Employment

Students wishing to undertake employment during the academic year must obtain written approval from the Program Director in advance. According to university policy, the employment of full-time students should not exceed 20 hours per week. Permission is normally granted to students who have already completed their coursework and have excellent results.

Residence in Budapest

One-year MAPP students are required to be in residence in Budapest throughout the academic year, until they submit their thesis (except for the period of their internship which they may spend outside Budapest).

Mundus MAPP students may start their internship, and therefore may leave the country after completing all of their coursework. Please note that the thesis report is due by August 31, 2018. Prior to leaving Budapest, by mid-May at the latest, Mundus MAPP students should agree upon a supervision schedule with their CEU Thesis Supervisor. It is important that they observe the dates and deadlines specified in this schedule during the summer. This is a condition for keeping their enrolled student status and the continuation of the payment of their stipend.

Stipends and Scholarships

One-year MAPP: Scholarship recipients are entitled to receive their stipend while they are studying in the program until the end of June, and also for two additional months in the summer (July and August) if they do an internship or Applied Policy Lab in fulfillment of the mandatory practice requirement. Students are entitled to stay in the dorms for the months of July and August while they are doing their internship in Hungary. Students taking the Applied Policy Lab are not entitled to stay in the dorm for the months of July and August. Students who are exempted from the mandatory practice requirement are not entitled to receive a stipend or to stay in the dorm for the months of July and August.Mundus MAPP students who receive a CEU scholarship in their fi rst year are entitled to receive their stipend and stay in the dorm for the months of July and August if they are progressing with their curricular requirements during the summer.

Community Service

The School of Public Policy educates those committed to the collective good. Within the School, this mission is promoted through student service for the (SPP) community during the year. Community service includes but is not limited to assistance with SPP’s academic or social events, participation in recruitment activities, and administrative assistance with admissions. Students may also propose alternative meaningful types of community service. Besides SPP-specific activities, students are encouraged to participate in and contribute to CEU-wide events and activities.

CEU Careers

CEU Careers plays a leading role in institutional efforts to ensure that the university’s graduates are prepared to transform their CEU experience into meaningful professional engagement. CEU Careers partners with the diverse members of CEU’s student and alumni communities, offering guidance, support, and information as they develop and pursue personal visions for impact and success all over the world.

The office promotes individual responsibility and resilience throughout the job- and internship-search processes, working with students as they create and implement the personalized professional development “roadmaps”. Building on an analysis of their own strengths and an awareness of the issue areas in which they wish to make a difference, SPP students work with Career Services to:

• identify key organizations and explore career paths that will allow them to bring their unique skills and experiences to bear

• expand and manage their personal networks

• craft tailored CVs and cover letters

• prepare for interviews

• conduct salary negotiations

Services offered by the offi ce include:

• the professional development course “Job Search Basics and Beyond”: optional for one-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP students

Each cohort in SPP’s three master’s programs elects two representatives. (This means that the first-year MPA students and second-year MPA students will each elect two representatives.) These eight Student Representatives play an important role in the community and governance of the School of Public Policy. They serve as a conduit between faculty and students, articulating student issues to faculty and staff, and School developments to students. Student Representatives engage the diversity of student opinion, including by convening meetings with their cohort and by initiating mechanisms to ensure that they can appropriately and broadly solicit opinions, concerns, and feedback.1

Collectively, the eight Student Representatives constitute the SPP Student Council, which meets at the determination of elected representatives to hear School-wide issues.

In addition to Student Representatives, students enrolled in all SPP master’s programs elect two Student Events Officers, who oversee the funds for student events and initiatives, have responsibility for collating student proposals for speakers and events, and liaise and consult with the Student Affairs Coordinator. Students may propose events and initiatives according to the SPP Student Events and Initiatives Guidelines and submit the fund requests to the Student Events Officers. Proposed funding for student driven events and initiatives are decided in a meeting by a majority vote of all Student Representatives and Student Event Officers. Proposed funding priorities decided at the meeting are presented to and approved by the Student Affairs Coordinator to ensure funding priorities meet CEU regulations and SPP guidelines. Once approval is received, the Student Events Officers follow up with the student or students requesting funding. The Student Events Officers are responsible for submitting invoices and filing end of term financial reports to the Student Affairs Coordinator.

A Student Representative for each cohort is invited to participate in the School Meeting of faculty and staff that is convened twice a term.

general ceu and

spp information

1 Mundus MAPP Student Representatives also represent their cohort towards the Mundus MAPP Consortium and in this role participate in the organization of the Mundus MAPP fi eld trip and are invited to annual board meetings to present student feedback.

29

Student Representatives will be responsible for drafting and submitting end of term reports to the Student Affairs Coordinator outlining:

• The meetings and events that they have convened and the next steps taken

• Prioritized issues raised by students and how these have or are being addressed

• A fi nancial report update (in cooperation with the Student Events Offi cers)

Election Process

Student Representatives are elected between September 11 and 22 at a student meeting where candidates present themselves and fellow students may ask them questions on their credentials and platform.

Students are present in person for the election and vote anonymously for their preferred candidate, with the election process facilitated by the Student Affairs Coordinator (MPA and one-year MAPP) / Mundus MAPP Senior Program Manager (Mundus MAPP).

Tenure and Conditions of Tenure

• Representatives serve a one-year term.

• Representatives are required to stand down on the instruction of the Acting Head in the event of the following:

– The Academic Integrity Committee of the School determines that the student has committed academic misconduct

– The Academic Integrity Committee or any relevant University committee deems the student guilty of misconduct or behavior that damages the reputation or institutional interest of the School or CEU

– The student’s academic performance falls below passing grades

Student Representation at CEU

The CEU Student Union (SU) is the self-governance body of all students enrolled at Central European University. All enrolled students are members of the SU. Each year, students from different schools, departments, and programs elect representatives to the

general ceu and

spp information

30

SU Assembly (SUA). The Assembly is the highest decision-making body of the SU and provides representation on academic, administrative, and/or disciplinary matters. The SU Board (SUB) is responsible for making decisions when the SUA is not in session. The SUB is the key executive body of the Student Union.

The purpose of the SU is two-fold. It plays the role of a respected partner of the CEU administration in the decision-making and policy-shaping process. This is achieved through student representation in university structures, including the Academic Senate and its Committees. The SU also prepares position papers on issues of particular concern to students, which are then sent to and discussed with the leadership of the University. These issues range from student stipends, to dorm regulations, to research and travel grants, and opening a new student bar on the main campus.

More information on the CEU Student Union is available athttps://studentunion.ceu.edu

Student Representation at the Residence Centers

Students are represented at the CEU Residence Center (dormitory) through their participation in the Residence Center Council, which is established each year. It is composed of Resident Counselors who represent the residents. Resident Counselors (RCs) work closely with the Dormitory Student Services Manager.

Fire Safety

In the event of a fire or fire alarm, everyone must exit the building immediately and leave via the closest exit signs and stairways. If possible, confine the fire by closing all doors after all people have exited the rooms. Evacuate promptly and meet outside the building away from the entrance across Október 6 utca 7.

Course Materials

Course materials are available through the CEU e-learning site (http://ceulearning. ceu.hu) and can be accessed by students by logging in using their Novell password. The readings for courses can be printed from on-line sources.

In addition to the e-learning site, course instructors may place books for their courses on reserve at the CEU Library. Students may work with these books in the Library, but cannot check them out.

Pr inting Policy

SPP is committed to environmental sustainability and encourages a responsible approach to printing. One-year MAPP students are entitled to a generous printing allowance of 2,700 pages per annum; for Mundus MAPP students, the printing allowance is 2,000 pages per annum. Additional printing quota can be purchased from the CEU Finance Office.

Course Registration

Students are required to register for courses through the University Information System (Infosys). Class sizes are limited. Registration for elective courses is competitive and on a first-come first-served basis. The School reserves the right to grant enrolment priority to certain students for some courses (such as courses on their thesis topic etc.), Students who fail to attend the first class of a course they have registered for will be moved to the waitlist if they have not gained the prior approval of the course instructor for their absence.

An elective course can be dropped via Infosys until the end of the registration period or, in the case of courses that start later in the term, until the day after the first class. If applicable, the Student Affairs Coordinator will inform students in advance about the extended drop window for courses that start later in the term. Students are strongly discouraged from oversubscribing for courses, and especially from registering for courses that they do not intend to follow. Students must register for all mandatory courses as a fi rst priority and

courses: requirements,

options, policies, and grading

32

then select their elective courses; students who do not register for all mandatory courses within the credit cap will be asked to drop any elective courses prohibiting them from registering for the mandatory course(s).

For more information on course registration, please consult the Student Records Manual.

Registration DeadlinesFall term: September 11, 2017–October 1, 2017

Winter term: December 4, 2017–January 14, 2018

Spring term March 19, 2018–April 15, 2018

Students should carefully think about their course selection and about the registration mode they choose for each course. The School strongly discourages late registration for and/or late dropping of courses. Students may drop a course during the late registration period if it is before the 3rd session of that course. In this case, a fee of 5,000 HUF applies for the late dropping of a course. The latest day for dropping a course (including audited courses) or altering registration mode (from grade to audit or vice versa) is by the 3rd session of that course. If a student wishes to drop a course after the 3rd session, the student must withdraw from the course and will receive a “WN” on his/her transcript indicating that he/she withdrew from the course. To avoid receiving a withdrawal, students must drop courses before the 3rd session. Students cannot change the registration mode (i.e. from grade to audit or vice versa) after the 3rd session; in such cases, students must withdraw from the course and receive a “WN.” Please consult the Student Records Manual for detailed registration procedures and policy.

Attendance

Regular class attendance is mandatory and recorded. As a professional school, we expect students to arrive punctually for all classes. Late arrivals are disruptive and faculty have the right to turn late students away from a class. Students must secure the approval of the course instructor in advance if they need to be absent from a class for any reason. If students need to be absent for short periods (up to a few days) during the academic year, they must secure advance approval from their Program Director. In case of absence for



33

medical reasons, students should inform course instructors as well as the Student Affairs Coordinator as soon as possible. A medical opinion (doctor’s note) must be submitted to the Student Affairs Coordinator who will keep it on file. Class absence(s) that have not been approved may result in a failing grade for the course.

Missed classes must be made up with an assignment, unless the absence occurred for medical reasons (sickness accompanied by a doctor’s note). The make-up assignment and submission date is determined by the course instructor.

Students are responsible for ensuring that they do not enroll in courses that have conflicting schedules and must ensure that they are able to attend all sessions of the courses for which they have registered. Please note that due to the wide selection of courses, there are course overlaps in the schedule.

Professional etiquette, attendance and punctuality also extend to meetings outside of the classroom with faculty and administration. Faculty may deduct a student’s grade if he/she disregards or misses agreed upon meetings.

If students are interested in attending events at CEU that are of academic interest but conflict with a particular course for which they have enrolled, they must consult with their course instructor.

Auditing a Course

Students may register for a course without earning a letter grade or credit if the course is not oversubscribed, and if they secure the approval of the course instructor. Auditing students are expected to observe the same attendance rules as other students. In addition, they may have to fulfill the same requirements for the course as those who take it for a grade. The auditing requirements should be clarified with the course instructor at the beginning of the course. When a student audits a course, no credit is earned and the Grade Point Average (GPA) is unaffected.



34

Course Requirements

The requirements for successful completion of individual courses include attendance and a Pass in course assignments. Other requirements are left to the discretion of the course instructors. It is the responsibility of students to be fully aware of course requirements and relevant deadlines. If not specified otherwise, late submission will result in the final grade being reduced by a grade step (e.g. an A can become an A–) every 24 hours starting from the deadline.

Participation in voluntary scholarly activities conducted outside the curricular requirements (e.g. conferences or summer schools) is not an excuse for failing to meet school requirements or deadlines.

Grading System

CEU uses a system of letter grades and grade points for evaluating student work, including the thesis (please refer to the grade outline in the CEU Student Records Manual). Major assignments (i.e. term papers or fi nal exams) graded ‘unsatisfactory’ may be retaken once within a given time frame agreed upon between the faculty member(s) and the student. Students who fail to submit work, or whose work fails to meet the minimum requirements for the assignment, will receive a grade of ‘F.’

The lowest passing grade is C+. At the end of each course, course instructors provide a detailed breakdown of the course grade components. Failing a mandatory core course results in termination fro m the program.

The letter grades correspond to the following numerical value bands:

A 3.68–4.00

A– 3.34–3.67

B+ 3.01–3.33

B 2.68–3.00

B– 2.34–2.67

C+ 2.33 (minimum pass)



35

Grade Submission

After each academic term, students receive grades for the courses they took during that term. Once the course evaluation survey period is closed, faculty members submit final grades that are entered into the University Information System (Infosys). Students may check their grades in Infosys (https://infosys.ceu.hu).

Grade corrections may be made when a clerical or computational error resulted in the submission of an incorrect grade. For any other change to a course grade, please consult the appeal procedure below.

Appealing a Grade

In exceptional circumstances students may appeal the grades they received for course work or exams. Appeals must be submitted to the Program Director via email within seven days of receiving grades and instructors’ feedback. If feedback has not been received, the student should notify the Student Affairs Coordinator. The written statement must fully set out the reasons for appealing the grade. The Program Director will assess the student’s request for review of the grade, and, if a review is merited, convene the Academic Integrity Committee. As with cases of misconduct, AIC members will be recused if the appeal relates to a grade dispute on one of their courses. The AIC will determine the final grade. In the event that the Program Director is responsible for the disputed grade they are recused from the AIC.

The Academic Integrity Committee will only accept cases for review in which the final grade is based on a judgment error by the grading lecturer. If the Academic Integrity Committee accepts the appeal it will ask the grading professor to revise the grade. If the grading professor leaves the initial grade unchanged, the Academic Integrity Committee will ask a member of the faculty for a new review. The grade after this review will be final. Please note that the final grade may be worse than the initial grade.

This procedure does not affect the student’s right to appeal to the Academic Pro-Rector, as set out in CEU’s Student Rights, Rules, and Academic Regulations: http://www. ceu.edu/sites/default/fi les/attachment/basic_page/132/p-1105-2-v1211-student-rights-policyfi nal.pdf.



36

Academic Dishonesty

Academic misconduct includes (but is not limited to) the representation of the work of others as one’s own, including plagiarizing the ideas or words of someone else without proper attribution to the source, whether intentional or not, or submitting work that has been previously submitted for a different course. CEU’s Policy on Plagiarism (http:// documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1405-1) details plagiarism and related penalties. Student work must be submitted through Turnitin, which highlights unattributed materials and their source.

Other cases of academic dishonesty, including submitting the same or similar course work for different courses, is regulated by the Code of Ethics (http://documents.ceu.edu/ documents/p-1009-1v1402-0). Annex 1 to the Policy is Implementation Guidelines, which are intended to guide faculty in making decisions about possible cases of plagiarism.

For more information please refer to the Guidelines for the Implementation of ‘Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism and Other Offences.’

In the first instance, academic misconduct within the School is raised by the course instructor with the Program Director, who in turn refers the case for investigation by the School Academic Integrity Committee (AIC). The AIC includes program directors and rotating members of faculty. In cases where the misconduct relates to a course delivered by any member of the AIC, they are recused from committee service. Depending on the severity of the offence, or in cases where there has been a recurrence of misconduct or a student wishes to appeal AIC findings, the case may be escalated to the Head of the School or to the relevant disciplinary/ethics committee within CEU.

Evaluations

Students are requested to evaluate all courses they attend. This feedback is crucial in assessing and improving teaching and course quality. Short and anonymous online surveys will be administered at the end of each course with the target of reaching a response rate of 85%. Students should fill out the anonymous online forms when requested to do so. Course instructors may only access the anonymous student evaluations after they have



37

submitted course grades. To prevent confl icts of interests, no grades are published until the course evaluation period has been closed.

Phone and Laptop Use in Class

The use of mobile phones in class is strictly forbidden. Laptops and tablet use is generally permitted in class only when it is related to the course. The use of all IT-related equipment is at the discretion of the course instructor. Any individual wanting to film, tweet, record audio or take photographs of a course and any other school meeting, must first obtain permission from the instructor and all other parties affected. Persistent misuse of IT equipment will be treated as academic misconduct.



38

All SPP students must consult the Courses: Requirements, Options, Policies, and Grading of this handbook for general SPP requirements and policies. The following requirements apply to One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP students only.

Program Descr iption (Mundus MAPP)

The Mundus Masters Program in Public Policy -Mundus MAPP is a two-year joint degree program. The program is offered by four consortium partners: Central European University in Budapest (CEU, Hungary), Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI, Spain), the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam in The Hague (ISS, Netherlands), and the University of York (York, UK).

See the Mundus MAPP 2017–2019 Program Guide for additional information on the Overall Aim and detailed Learning Outcomes of the Mundus MAPP program.

Program Descr iption (One-year MAPP)

The one-year MA program in Public Policy aims to offer students a solid foundation in theories, which contribute to our understanding of the design, development, and reform of public policies in different institutional contexts, and at various levels of governance. The program consists of a number of mandatory core courses in public policy analysis, economics, and methods. In addition to the mandatory core curriculum, students have the opportunity to develop thematic expertise by pursuing one of the following areas of concentration: Security, Development, Governance, Media and Communication, and Higher Education Policy. Along with the theoretical foundations, the program also seeks to engage students in applied policy work where theoretical concepts can be applied in practice. To fulfill the mandatory practice component of the one-year MAPP, students can choose to participate in an Applied Policy Lab or complete an internship.

Overall Aim (One-year MAPP)

The one-year MAPP program provides students with a solid grounding in key themes of public policy and policy analysis as well as practical and issue-oriented knowledge that

mapp degree

program requirements

39

will prepare students for their future roles as policy-makers, advisors, and analysts in governmental and non-governmental organizations. Through the courses included in the mandatory core curriculum, students will gain a detailed and systematic understanding of how policy-making processes are shaped and influenced by both actors and political institutions, and how public policies operate and interact from the global political economy through to national and local levels.

Learning Objectives (One-year MAPP)

The principal learning goals of the One-year MAPP program are for students to achieve and demonstrate an advanced ability to:

• Critically analyze policy issues and develop holistic perspectives on domestic and global governance issues

• Evaluate public policies and policy instruments using adequate qualitative and quantitative methods

• Design and participate in the delivery of public policies in various sectors and institutional settings

• Undertake further studies in a self-directed and autonomous manner using reliable sources of information

Attendance

One-year MAPP students are required to be in residence in Budapest throughout the academic year, until they submit their master’s thesis.

If they need to be absent during the master’s thesis research period they must secure approval in advance from their Program Director and their Thesis Supervisor.

Mundus MAPP students completing an internship in fulfillment of the mandatory practice requirement may start their internship, and therefore may leave the country, after completing all of their coursework. Please note that the Mundus MAPP thesis report is due by August 31, 2018. Prior to leaving Budapest, Mundus MAPP students should agree upon a supervision schedule with their CEU Thesis Supervisor and strictly observe

mapp degree

the mapp degree program requirements dates and deadlines specified in this schedule during the summer. This is a condition for keeping their enrolled student status and for continuation of the payment of their stipend.

One-year MAPP: Scholarship recipients are entitled to receive their stipend while they are enrolled in the program until the end of June, and also for two additional months in the summer (July and August) if they do an internship or Applied Policy Lab in fulfillment of the mandatory practice requirement. Students who are already staying in the dorm are entitled to remain there for the months of July and August if they are doing their internship in Hungary. Students taking the Applied Policy Lab are not entitled to stay in the dorm for the months of July and August. Students who are exempted from the mandatory practice requirement are not entitled to receive a stipend or to stay in the dorm for the months of July and August.

Mundus MAPP scholarship recipients are entitled to receive their stipend and keep their place in the dorm for July and August provided that they are progressing with the completion of the requirements of their program as planned.

Master of Arts Degree in Public Policy (One-year MAPP)

One-year MAPP students are required to complete 40 CEU credits (34 course credits of mandatory and elective courses + 6 dissertation credits). At the end of the teaching terms, One-year MAPP students will write a research thesis under the guidance of a faculty member who will serve as the Thesis Supervisor. The One-year MAPP program also has a mandatory practice component that may be fulfilled via an internship or participation in an Applied Policy Lab. Students must do one or the other. They can also choose to do both. In order to receive the Master of Arts degree, students must fulfill the following criteria:

i. Passing grades (C+ or above) for all mandatory and elective courses completed in the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms (34 credits—85% of the fi nal MA grade) and passing grades in Academic Writing for Graduate Students.

For a summary of credit requirements for One-year MAPP students see Appendix I. Please note that a student will not be awarded a degree until all outstanding financial responsibilities are met and the Leaving Form has been submitted on-line and approved by all appropriate units.

Master of Arts Degree in Public Policy (Mundus MAPP)

Mundus MAPP students are required to earn 61 ECTS credits1 in the first year of their studies at CEU in order to complete the joint Mundus MAPP program. The program also includes a study trip and a mandatory internship. The study trip is organized in April. The internship is to be reported on within two weeks from the date of completion, but by October 1, 2018 at the latest and counts towards the second year of the Mundus MAPP program. For further details on the credit requirements please refer to the Mundus MAPP 2017–2019 Program Guide.

For a summary of credit requirements for Mundus MAPP students se e Appendix II.

Program Concentrations (One-year MAPP Only)

SPP faculty offer a diversity of 2- and 4-credit courses. Some of these are grouped into concentration tracks that One-year MAPP students can choose to pursue. Please note that MAPP students cannot pursue more than one concentration. The concentrations offered by the School cover core public policy concerns and are taught by faculty with high-level expertise in each of the thematic areas. These are:

• Security

• Development

• Governance

• Media and Communication

• Higher Education Policy

mapp degree


42

To complete a concentration One-year MAPP students must

• earn a minimum of 6 course credits2 in the concentration they have selected and

• write their thesis (also 6 credits) on a topic related to the same concentration.

Only those courses listed by SPP under each concentration qualify as credit towards the concentration.

Security

The Security concentration is framed around the fundamental question ‘whose security?’ This expands analysis of security policy from a traditional focus on nation states to society and individuals, in turn fostering a critical understanding of how security threats and challenges are problematized.

The multiple forms of insecurity in the contemporary world, including violent conflict, gender-based violence, and terrorism are analyzed in this concentration, and the policies designed to address such threats are assessed. Courses explore national, regional, and international policy priorities and responses, and introduce students to the tools to evaluate their effectiveness and impacts.

This concentration combines methodological, theoretical, and practice components. It promotes a focus on the design, monitoring, and evaluation of policies and programs, methods for analyzing security debates and interventions, and knowledge of toolkits that have been developed to enhance conflict sensitive and rights-based approaches in security policy design and implementation.

Courses offered within the Security concentration are listed below.

Development

The Development concentration provides students with the tools to analyze the effectiveness of development policies and a strong understanding of evidence-based policy-making. It focuses on development, broadly defined, beyond the traditional confines of economic development. Courses within this track raise a series of fundamental questions: Why is there such a wide disparity of access to basic goods and services for ordinary citizens? Are there different tools for helping us understand poverty and inequality? What are the current debates regarding policy solutions?

This concentration provides a nuanced understanding of persistent and emerging issues in the economics, politics, and practice of development in answering these questions. To effectively address the complex and multidimensional nature of policy-making, the concentration uses quantitative and qualitative tools to examine and address the root causes of poverty and inequality at several levels of analysis: nation -states, institutions, households, and individuals. The approach is interdisciplinary, but allows for advanced coursework in political economy, development microeconomics, and macroeconomics.

The courses within this concentration cover a wide array of themes as a response to current complex challenges, including state formation, political economy, humanitarian intervention, South-South networks, and policy evaluation. Pedagogically, we aim to develop students’ ability to engage in independent, critical analysis of, and engagement with, development as a sphere of professional practice.

Courses offered within the Development concentration are listed below.

Governance

The Governance specialization focuses on governance within and beyond the nation state, and related changes to the underlying structure of the global political economy. It analyses how problems are solved (or not solved) in contexts in which authority, whether concentrated or dispersed, requires cooperation among multiple independent actors.

Students learn how different groups of governmental and non-governmental actors influence policy-making and how regional and global governance penetrates core domains of public policy in national and local settings. This specialization helps students to identify alternative institutional options for cooperative problem-solving and, from a more critical perspective, examines why intergovernmental solutions advocated over recent decades no longer appear to be working.

Media and Communication

The Media and Communication concentration focuses on the relationship between media (particularly digital media) and the state, geopolitics, market, and society. It engages with cultural and sociological understandings of Internet media through the lens of the Global South and the geopolitics of Internet media and digital rights. Courses will emphasize deep engagement with media and social theory and the implications of new digital media geographies for global communications and the development of public policy. Fundamental questions of media rights and freedoms are considered within this track, and the diversity of international policy responses and their impacts are explored. Strategies for advocacy of media freedoms, application of new digital technologies, and approaches for data/information gathering for media and communications policy are emphasized in the practice elements of courses.

Courses offered within the Media and Communication concentration are listed below.

Higher Education Policy

The Higher Education Policy concentration focuses on the public policy functions of higher education. It analyzes how these functions are defined and realized (at the national, regional, international, and global levels); who makes higher education policies; what are the motivations for specific policy approaches and initiatives in higher education; what tools are used; and what their impact is. Students learn to analyze situations and problems in higher education policy and to develop solutions and implementation practices, also

curricular requirements and grading

Pre-session and Zero Week Requirements

During the Pre-session Week (September 4–8, 2017), orientation sessions are organized to help students settle in Budapest and at the University. Academic Writing classes will also commence during the Pre-session Week. Attendance is mandatory.

Zero Week (September 11–15, 2017) precedes the official beginning of the Fall term. Program Directors and the Acting Head will provide course presentation sessions with information about mandatory and elective courses. Students seeking course clarification and additional information may address their questions to faculty during these sessions. Syllabi for the Fall term will be available on Moodle prior to Zero Week.

Curr icular Requirements (One-year MAPP)

During the academic year, both mandatory and elective courses will be offered to all students. One-year MAPP students must complete 34 CEU course credits. Grades for the academic year’s course work are weighted equally on a cumulative average, which will include a grade for the thesis.

Fall Term 14–18 course credits

Students are expected to complete 14–18 course credits and Academic Writing for Graduate Students (0 credit) in the Fall term. Students must earn at least a Pass for Academic Writing and a minimum passing grade (C+) for all other courses during the Fall term to advance to the Winter term.

Winter Term 12–18 course credits

Students are expected to complete 12–18 course credits and Academic Writing for Graduate Students (0 credit) in the Winter term. Students must earn at least a Pass for Academic Writing and a minimum passing grade (C+) for all other courses during the Winter term to complete the course component of their studies.

61

curricular requirements and grading

Spring Term 0–4 course credits

Students may choose to complete up to 4 credits in the Spring term. They may select from cross-listed courses offered by other departments. Students must achieve at least a minimum passing grade (C+) in all courses.

The 2 credits that are earned for the Applied Policy Lab if it is taken in addition to the Internship will be awarded in the Spring term.

By the end of the Spring term students must have completed 34 course credits. The minimum GPA required to earn a master’s degree at CEU is 2.66.

Curr icular Requirements (Mundus MAPP)

Mundus MAPP students must consult the Mundus MAPP 2017–2019 Program Guide for their curricular requirements and Appendix II for a summary.

Final Grading (One-year MAPP)

Grades throughout the year will be combined in a Final Grade for the Master of Arts degree based on a cumulative Grade Point Average weighted equally for course work (85%) and for the master’s thesis (15%). The Final Grade will be used to distinguish levels of achievement as follows:

3.67 to 4.00 Master of Arts with Distinction

3.33 to 3.66 Master of Arts Pass with Merit

2.66 to 3.33 Master of Arts Pass

Below 2.66 Fail

62

General Overview

One-year MAPP students are required to complete a master’s thesis worth 6 credits. All theses must address an appropriate research topic, which includes a defined field of research and a number of researchable questions to investigate.

Theses should demonstrate a good knowledge of the literature in the field of policy studies; contribute to the study of the field through original research and/or by relating the subject studies to the broader academic literature; and demonstrate analytic ability through the careful and critical use of relevant concepts and approaches.

Thesis (one-year MAPP) and Thesis Report (Mundus MAPP) Requirements

All students enrolled in the One-year MAPP program are required to write a master’s thesis during their studies at CEU. Mundus MAPP students have a two-year thesis project, fi rst writing a thesis report to be submitted at the end of the academic year at CEU and building from the thesis report writing a thesis in their second year.

All students should begin to think about a thesis topic and potential supervisors during the Fall term. The list of supervisors will be published in September–October 2017. Students can then approach these professors with their thesis topics. Students will need to submit their thesis/thesis report proposal to their selected supervisor who must undertake their supervision by signing the Thesis (Report) Title and Supervisor Form which later students will be required to submit to the offi ce as per below. In case students cannot fi nd a supervisor they will be assigned a supervisor.

The supervisor is the student’s primary contact during the research and thesis writing period. Supervisors are expected to read and comment on the thesis proposal, to meet the student half a dozen times during the supervision process, and to provide feedback on drafts of the thesis, if there is sufficient time to do so.

Students must submit their Thesis Topic and Area of Concentration by January 15, 2018 to the Academic Curriculum Coordinator (one-year MAPP) / Mundus MAPP Senior Program Manager (Mundus MAPP) via a Google spreadsheet.

Mundus MAPP students must submit:

A scanned copy of their Thesis Report Proposal Form signed by their fi rst-year thesis supervisor together with a 600-word Thesis Report proposal must be emailed to the Mundus MAPP Senior Program Manager either by the early deadline of March 5 or by the fi nal deadline of March 23, 2018. The proposal should contain the following:

• Provisional title of the thesis report

• Research question

• Literature overview

• Empirical strategy

• Expected results

• Reference list (not included in the 600-word limit)

For a sample Thesis Report Proposal Form see Appendix IV.

Mundus MAPP students should check the thesis and thesis report requirements and information on grading in the Mundus MAPP 2017–2019 Program Guide.

64

The application must contain the grant application form, a summary of the project, the research timetable (days and location), a summary of advanced preparations undertaken, the supervisor’s recommendation, and a detailed budget. After the completion of their research, grantees must send the empirical raw material (field notes, interview transcripts, etc.) to the Student Affairs Coordinator. Applicants must also submit a travel grant report and original invoices for all expenses to the CEU Grants Management Offi ce within 30 days of the completion of their research. If the master’s thesis grant is not used according to the budget that was submitted, the University may insist that the grant be refunded. For further details please visit: https://www.ceu.edu/funding-fees/fi naid-enrolled/research-travel-grants.

You will also receive emails from the CEU Grants Management Office with additional information about the application requirements for these MA Thesis Research Grants.

Research and Internship Periods Abroad

Students undertaking research for their thesis or their internship outside Hungary are responsible for arranging and paying for the costs of their visa and valid medical insurance for that period.

Thesis/Thesis Report Deadlines (One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP)

Please note and observe the following deadlines:

• Thesis (One-year MAPP): June 15, 2018

• Thesis report (Mundus MAPP): August 31, 2018

The deadlines for submitting the thesis and the thesis report are strictly observed. Late submission will result in a reduction of the final grade of 0.2 points per business day. Note that an extension of the deadline can only be granted in events that are beyond the control of the student. Students must apply for an extension of the deadline to the Thesis Supervisor and the Program Director. Students who submit the


guidelines

65


thesis/thesis report late because of illness need to provide a medical certificate. Practical problems that may have been encountered will not be accepted as a valid excuse for failing to meet the deadline. Please make sure that you submit your thesis well in advance of the deadline in order to avoid potential difficulties.

The CEU Copy Shop can copy and bind your thesis. It is located in the Basement of the Faculty Tower. However, due to their heavy workload, they cannot always handle immediate requests. There are also numerous copy services available in Budapest.

66

Thesis Format (One-year MAPP)

The total length of the thesis must be 12,000 words (+/– 10%) and include: the title page, copyright notice, table of contents, list of figures, list of abbreviations, acknowledgments, references, abstract (maximum 200 words), footnotes, bibliography, and appendices.

Submitted theses must follow the CEU Thesis Guidelines which is downloadable from http://caw.ceu.edu/online-writing-resources#Thesis. Term papers and theses must follow the referencing system of the Chicago Embedded Style, the most important elements of which are addressed in the Academic Writing for Public Policy course. For detailed information on correct citation please consult the 7th Edition of Turabian’s A Manual for Writers (available in the library). For a sample cover page see Appendix V.

Dissertations must include footnotes and a full bibliography of sources that were consulted. Arguments and information drawn from books and articles that were consulted must be acknowledged. Direct quotations should be clearly indicated through the use of quotation marks (“ ”), or through the use of indirect quotations; copying another author’s writing in the text without proper citation is plagiarism and will be penalized.

CEU’s Policy on Plagiarism (http://documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1405-1) details plagiarism and related penalties.

Other cases of academic dishonesty are regulated by CEU’s Code of Ethics (http:// documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1009-1v1402-0).

It is recommended that students use a bibliography software to organize references. For more information see: http://www.personal.ceu.hu/comp/endnote.htm.

Thesis Evaluation and Grading (One-year MAPP)

Two SPP faculty members will read and evaluate the thesis. The thesis grade will be determined based upon their two written evaluations. There will be no oral defense after thesis submission. The MA Thesis Evaluation Form including the fi nal grade and comments on the dissertation will be provided within six weeks of the submission date for


guidelines

67


those who submit by the deadline. (For a sample MA Thesis Evaluation Form please see Appendix VI.) For appeals, please see page 36 of this Handbook (Appealing a Grade). The thesis will be graded in line with the University’s thesis grading policy. The following criteria is offered as a guideline for how thesis grades are determined:

‘A’The thesis shows originality and a high degree of conceptual sophistication along with critical examination of theoretical and empirical knowledge.

‘A–,’ ‘B+’The thesis contributes to the existing literature in the field; it shows a complete knowledge of the subject matter and relevant theoretical material, and it demonstrates a clear analytic ability.

‘B,’ ‘B–,’ ‘C+’The thesis has the attributes of a “Pass with Honors” thesis, but at an adequate rather than an excellent level.

Fail / ResubmitThe thesis lacks a thorough knowledge of the subject matter, and it does not relate to the broader academic literature. It neither applies research methods properly, nor demonstrates any analytic ability. The student may be invited to write a new thesis. The maximum grade possible in this circumstance is a Retake Pass (RP in the value of C+).

Fail for academic dishonestyThe thesis work is not original: the thesis (or substantial parts of it) has either been submitted to fulfill the requirements of another degree at CEU or another university or parts of the thesis are plagiarized, and are not the original work of the author.

In case of serious offenses the thesis is graded Fail (F).

In some cases, the thesis may be graded Retake Pass (RP in the value of C+) and the transcript will be fl agged for academic dishonesty.

68

Overview

The completion of a mandatory practice component is an integral part of the Master of Public Policy programs and their degree requirements. Students can choose between

• Completion of an Internship. The internship is an opportunity for students to further develop their career profile, to apply insights they have gained as a result of their academic courses in a ‘real-world’ environment, and/or to advance their research skills.

One-year MAPP credits: 0

Mundus MAPP credits: 1.5

or

• Participation in a Policy Lab. In the Applied Policy Lab course, students work in and out of class in teams on an abbreviated version of an Applied Policy Project under close supervision. Two or more projects are offered each year; the projects are done for a real client.

Credits:

One-year MAPP students:

• 0 credits—if taken to fulfi ll the mandatory practice component

• 2 credits—if taken in addition to an internship conducted in fulfi llment of the mandatory practice component

Mundus MAPP students:

• 1.5 credits—if taken to fulfi ll the mandatory practice component

• 2 credits—if taken in addition to an internship conducted in fulfi llment of the mandatory practice component

First-year Mundus MAPP students who choose the Policy Lab to fulfi ll the mandatory practice component will earn credits for the Policy Lab in their second year.

Mandatory Practice Component: Completion of an Internship

As part of the practice and professional development component of the One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP programs, students are required to fulfill a mandatory practice requirement. One-year MAPP students may undertake an internship or relevant employment. Alternatively, One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP students may opt to participate in an Applied Policy Lab to fulfill the practice requirement.

The purpose of the internship is to provide students with an opportunity to gain insights into the day-to-day operations of an organization in the public, private, NGO, or multilateral sector, thereby gaining practical experience and advancing their understanding of how policies and processes are shaped by context, institutions, and culture. Most One- year MAPP and Mundus MAPP students take advantage of the internship to acquire policy-related professional experience, including knowledge and skills that will help them progress towards their long-term professional goals. Some students choose to do internships dedicated to research within an academic or research-focused institution.

One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP Internship Requirements For One-year MAPP students, the minimum duration of the internship is 40 working days or 320 hours. Students enrolled in the One-year MAPP program may not commence their internship until after they submit the master’s thesis. They must complete their internship, including all required paperwork, by October 1, 2018. In exceptional cases, One- year MAPP students may request permission from the Program Director to start their internship before completing their thesis.

For students enrolled in the Mundus MAPP program, the minimum duration of the internship is 20 working days or 160 hours. It is recommended that students consider longer internships in order to gain the maximum possible benefit from the experience. Mundus MAPP students are allowed to commence their internship upon completion of their courses. In exceptional cases, with permission from the Mundus MAPP Program Director, Mundus MAPP students may start their internship earlier in the academic year, on a part-time basis. The internship, including all required paperwork, must be completed by October 1, 2018.

Interns and host institutions should plan working hours on the assumption that interns will work up to 40 hours per week or what is considered full-time within the organization (whichever is less). This serves as a guideline; working arrangements may vary depending on the host organization. Students enrolled in the One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP programs may choose to structure their internship (320 hours or 160 hours) on a part- time basis.

Students may pursue internships in their home country, their country of residence, or internationally.

In order to fulfill the mandatory practice component, internships must have a clear learning agenda and be clearly relevant to the practice of public policy. The host organization is expected to provide interns with a substantive, policy-relevant professional development experience. Students are required to obtain a document from their host institution that specifies their tasks and responsibilities and designates an individual at the host organization to serve as a supervisor or mentor during the entire period of the internship. The document forms the basis of the information communicated to SPP by the student and host organization as part of the internship assignment and approval process (spelled out in detail below). The supervisor/mentor designated by the host institution is expected to provide guidance and instructions to the intern and to serve as the host organization’s contact for CEU Careers.

One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP Internship Timing and DeadlinesTo facilitate the process of approving student internships and so as not to delay communication of completed degree requirements, students are required to submit all internship completion documentation within two weeks of completing their internship andno later than the final deadlines listed below.

The fi nal deadline for One-year MAPP students to complete the internship requirements and submit all documentation is Monday, October 1, 2018.

The fi nal deadline for Mundus MAPP students to complete the internship requirements and submit all documentation is Monday, October 1, 2018.

SPP Internship Approval and Administration Process CEU Careers is responsible for overall internship administration and support and provides students with internship-search guidance and advice. CEU Careers researches policy-relevant internship opportunities and resources to share with students and works directly with students through group trainings and one-on-one consultations. One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP students are strongly encouraged to complete the optional professional development course, Job Search Basics and Beyond, which will be offered in the Fall term and covers crucial job search skills. The career course is structured to serve as a prerequisite for individual career counseling and internship advising sessions with CEU Careers and is intended to help students make the best use of the career services offered. As early as possible after completion of the course requirements, which include a required one-on-one career counseling session, students should schedule an individual appointment with CEU Careers in order to begin preparing their internship search plan.

CEU Careers assists students with their internship searches and provides support throughout the process. It is the responsibility of each student, however, to secure an internship that meets the requirements of his/her academic program and to ensure that these requirements are met. Failure to meet specified deadlines or to comply with requirements could result in failing the academic program.

Internship Forms, Reports, and DeadlinesThe internship requirement is not satisfied until submission and approval of the three forms listed below:

• Internship Approval and Assignment Form –fi nal deadline for submission May 18, 2018

Internships must be approved in advance of their start date. CEU Careers manages the approval process. After students agree with a host organization on the terms of an internship, they work with their internship supervisor/mentor within the organization to complete the Internship Approval and Assignment Form. This involves reaching an agreement about internship start and end dates, working hours, and scope of work. Once completed, the form must be signed by a representative of the host organization and submitted to CEU Careers. A document from the organization in the form of a Terms of Reference or other documentation of the future intern’s

72

expected projects/tasks must be attached to the form. CEU Careers reviews internship approval requests to ensure that the scope of work includes pertinent and applicable tasks and a clear learning agenda relevant to the practice of public policy and to the student’s overall professional development goals. When the internship is formally approved, CEU Careers staff signs the form. Documentation will be kept on file by the offi ce.

• Internship Report and Assessment Form —fi nal deadline for submission

October 1, 2018 (Mundus MAPP) l October 1, 2018 (One-year MAPP)

Within two weeks of completing their internship and no later than October 1, 2018 (One-year MAPP)/October 1, 2018 (Mundus MAPP)/, students must submit the Internship Report and Assessment Form to the CEU Careers.

• Intern Evaluation Form —fi nal deadline for submission

Within two weeks of completing their internship and no later than October 1, 2018 (One-year MAPP)/ October 1, 2018 (Mundus MAPP)/, students must ensure that the supervisor/mentor within the internship host organization submits this form directly to CEU Careers.

Upon student completion of the internship and receipt of all required documentation, CEU Careers reviews the full documentation and confirms that the internship requirement has been met.

One-year MAPP students who meet specific criteria may request an exemption from the internship requirement. The first step in this process is to submit the Internship Exemption Form, which is due by January 12, 2018.

NOTE:

Students are expected to refrain from any activities that might reflect poorly on either the host organization or on CEU and SPP. Students are encouraged to consult with CEU Careers if at any point during their internship they experience difficulties with their host organization. It is recommended that issues be addressed promptly.

Special Requirements Relating to ScholarshipsScholarship recipients must ensure that they fulfill any internship requirements relating to their scholarship. Scholarship requirements may restrict the choice of location and/or internship host institution.

Visa and Medical Insurance Outside Hungary and/or Home CountryWhen conducting internship-related research and preparing internship applications, students are advised to become familiar with immigration regulations that may affectwhether or not they are able to do an internship in a specific country, and/or how long itmay take to secure the necessary authorizations. The responsibility for identifying correct and relevant immigration information for specific countries and for making any and all necessary visa-related arrangements rests with individual students.

Students undertaking internships outside of Hungary or their home country are responsible for arranging and covering the costs of their visa and/or valid medical insurance. They are also responsible for ensuring that they have the insurance coverage (medical and otherwise) that the host organization may require.

Exemptions for One-year MAPP StudentsIn exceptional cases, One-year MAPP students whose prior professional experience (at least three years full-time employment) is relevant to public policy practice and provides a solid basis for their employment after graduation may be granted permission to waive the mandatory practice component of the MA Program in Public Policy. Students wishing to request an exemption from this requirement must submit the Internship Exemption Form by January 12, 2018. (Exemption from the mandatory practice requirement is not automatically granted upon submission of this form. Each case will be considered individually. Students will be informed whether exemption has been granted by February 12, 2018.)

Deborah Harding Scholarship recipients in the One-year MAPP program are not eligible for an exemption.

Students receiving an exemption from the mandatory practice component will not receive their scholarship for the months of July and August 2018.

SPP Internship FundThrough the SPP Internship Fund, the School is able to offer limited funding to support student internships. This funding, however, is intended only as a contribution to help defray out-of-pocket expenses. It is not intended to cover all expenses. SPP students are advised to carefully consider their personal financial resources and constraints as they make internship plans. Detailed guidelines regarding internship funding available during the 2017–2018 academic year will be made available towards the end of the Fall term.

Mandatory Practice Component: Applied Policy Labs

Applied Policy Labs are part of the mandatory practice component of the One-year MAPP and Mundus MAPP programs, and can be an alternative to the internship.

In the Applied Policy Lab course, students work in and out of class in teams on an abbreviated version of an Applied Policy Project under close supervision. Two or more projects are offered each year; the projects are done for a real client. The course teaches understanding and interacting with clients; work planning and budgeting; teamwork basics; giving and receiving feedback; and research, analysis, and policy development skills. Applied Policy Lab is mandatory for MPA student and elective for MAPP and Mundus MAPP students, for whom it fulfi ls the practice requirement.
