In the face of extremely complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic in Ho Chi Minh City and 57 other provinces and cities across the country, the Government is enforcing increasingly strict social distancing measures. Therefore, in order to accommodate the candidates and ensure the admission progress of the Master of Public Policy program in 2021, Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management – Fulbright University Vietnam is now announcing the adjustment of the format, conditions, and enrollment plan for the Master of Public Policy program 2021-2023 (MPP2023).
ABOUT THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION AND THE NEW ADMISSION FORMAT
New admission format will be applied to both majors: Policy Analysis (PA) and Leadership and Management (LM). Accordingly, applicants of the Policy Analysis program will be exempted from the Quantitative and English exams. Since we cannot organize an English exam, the School no longer requires English proficiency for applicants of both majors. However, applicants are still encouraged to submit English language certificates (if any).
According to the above adjustment, candidates who meet the eligibility requirements and submitted the completed application as per listed in the below timeline will be considered for an interview. The Fulbright School of Public Policy and Management will select candidates for the new academic year based on application review, essay quality, interview results, and the potential to contribute to society. The interview round will be conducted entirely in English.
THE EXTENED TIMELINE
In addition to the adjustment in the admission format, the School also extends the application timeline:
• Application closes: 05/09/2021
• Interview announcement: 9/9/2021
• Interview round: 11 – 13/9/2021
• Final decisions: 17/9/2021
To help candidates understand the adjustments related to admission to the Master in Public Policy program 2021-2023 (MPP2023), the School will organize admission consultation sessions for candidates who have opened their applications.
