Education is a lifelong process starting from learning the alphabet and accumulating knowledge and skills little by little, which is essential for one’s self-fulfillment. My experience tells that the cognitive atmosphere among students and teaching staff at GraSPP gives an impulse to this process. In my view, the consistent combination of the following two features makes MPP/IP attractive and demanding: its teaching staff, both academics and practitioners, who provide a wide understanding of theoretical basics along with alternative views on current challenges in the field of public policy, and its well-balanced curriculum with a broad range of courses to meet requirements of both beginner-level and advanced-level students. I rejoined my team back at the Central Bank, I continue to believe that GraSPP is a place one can get inspired to study.
