Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) established the College of Public Policy in 2019. The College has three degrees (Master of Public Policy, Master of Social Policy and Program Evaluation, Master of Global Health Policy) and Executive Programs (in collaboration with Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva). The College works to empower the next generation of ethically grounded public leaders in Qatar and beyond. Students are given an inclusive and diverse learning environment that promotes a culture of excellence, integrity, respect, and fairness. All faculty members are active in research with broad agenda addressing national and global challenges and policy priorities.
The Master of Global Health Policy (MGHP) program prepares graduates to address complex health challenges through policy analysis, interdisciplinary evidence, stakeholder engagement, ethical leadership, and public-service-oriented decision-making. The program combines a strong foundation in global health systems, health economics, advocacy, crises and emergency settings, and research methods, while offering both a Capstone track and a Master’s Thesis track to support diverse professional and academic aspirations. Positioned at the intersection of public policy and global health, the MGHP program is designed to equip students with the knowledge, analytical tools, and practical skills needed to contribute to health policy development, implementation, and evaluation in Qatar, the region, and globally.
