CPP's Master of Public Policy program receives accreditation.

The first academic program of its type based in the Gulf region to meet the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation’s standards

Entity: College of Public Policy

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) College of Public Policy (CPP) has officially received accreditation from the European Association for Public Administration Accreditation (EAPAA).

HBKU’s MPP is the first academic program based in the Gulf region to earn this prestigious accreditation, and only the second across the Middle East and North Africa.

The EAPAA is the only quality assurance authority in the European public administration education sector that helps academic institutions refine their programs and ensure their adherence to the European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education. Since 1995, the association has accredited more than 70 programs in 18 countries across Europe and Asia.

Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Ala Al-Fuqaha, Acting Provost, said: “This latest milestone illustrates HBKU’s track record of developing multidisciplinary academic programs and national research capabilities that help facilitate expertise and build capacity in key fields for Qatar, the region, and beyond. It also underlines the CPP’s commitment to learning experiences with a distinct combination of interdisciplinarity, ethics, and innovation in policy design and evaluation.”

Noting the College’s efforts, Dr. Leslie Pal, Dean, CPP, said: “This achievement cements CPP’s reputation as one of the leading public policy schools and knowledge hubs in the world. It is a testament to our faculty and staff’s tireless efforts to provide its students world-class academic and professional training where they can build the skills needed to understand, evaluate, and contribute to policy making in Qatar and beyond.”

The stringent accreditation process was conducted by internationally renowned academics from the field of public administration and based on peer review and assessment of, among other parameters, the curriculum, research, and faculty. The EAPAA Accreditation Committee rated several aspects of the MPP highly, citing the quality of teaching staff, their impressive track record in academic publications, the diversity of its community, and effective management structure.
