The Hertie School (until 2019 Hertie School of Governance) [6] is a German private, independent graduate school for governance (public policy, international affairs and data science) located in Berlin. Hertie School is accredited to confer master's and doctoral degrees. Half of the school's students are international, with more than 95 countries represented among alumni and currently enrolled students. The working language is English.

Contents

The research focus of the Hertie School, which has existed since its founding, lies in the analysis of the conditions, structures and dynamics of governance. [7]

Since 2018, the Hertie School has established five research centres (Centres of Competence) that focus on future key governance challenges: the Centre for International Security, the Centre for Digital Governance, the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the Jacques Delors Centre and the Centre for Sustainability (from 2021). Additionally, the School's Data Science Lab uses research in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle major societal problems.

Hertie School is widely regarded to be an elite institution due to its selectivity in admissions and its close connections to powerful networks within German political society.

History

The Hertie School was founded by the Hertie Foundation, located in Frankfurt. The school was established in 2003 as one of the first European professional schools for public policy. [8] Since 2008 it has been located in the Quartier 110 building on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. [9] The first study program offered was the Master of Public Policy (MPP). In 2015, the Master of International Affairs (MIA) was added. The Master of Data Science was set up in 2021.

In February 2005, the Hertie School was awarded state recognition as college of higher education by the Berlin Ministry of Science, Research, and Culture (Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur).

In October 2017, the Hertie School once again received full accreditation [10] to confer doctoral degrees for another ten years.

In February 2019, the Hertie School announced that it would move to the Robert Koch Forum from summer 2025 to enable its growth plans. The historic Robert Koch Forum is currently being renovated by the city of Berlin with a budget of 87 million euros. [11]

Enrollment and Degrees

As of September 2023, a total of 801 students were enrolled in the school. This includes 652 master's students, 52 Executive MPA participants and 64 doctoral students. There are over 2,700 alumni. [12]

Predominantly, Hertie School's students have backgrounds in law, economics, political science and international relations and pursue a Master of Public Policy, Master of International Affairs or Master of Data Science for Public Policy degree. The school offers its students the opportunity to complete a "professional year" at a multinational corporation, government ministry or an international organization. In addition to this possibility, research collaboration with faculty is encouraged. The Hertie School also offers an Executive Masters of Public Administration.[ citation needed ]

Academic programmes

The Hertie School currently offers three Master programmes, an executive Master, and a PhD programme.

MPP

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) programme offers teaching on corporate relations & government affairs in the public, civil society and private sectors. The programme is intended for students pursuing a future career dealing professionally with problems of modern governance, international relations, advanced economics and politics. Upon completion of the two-year programme, students receive the Master of Public Policy (MPP). Prospective students have typically studied economics, law or political science, but candidates from every field of study apply for admission.

MIA

The Master of International Affairs (MIA) programme, a two-year-programme added in autumn 2015, focuses on three concentration areas: International Security, European Governance and Human Rights and Global Governance. MIA students choose their specialisation during the second semester of their studies.

MDS

The School also offers a Master of Data Science for Public Policy (MDS) programme as of September 2021.

EMPA

The Executive Master of Public Administration (Executive MPA) programme is aimed at experienced professionals for whom cooperation between government, business and civil society is an important part of their work. Participants in the Executive MPA programme choose an individual area of concentration and can either study full-time over a period of one year or complete the programme over a period of two years if they wish to study part-time while working. Prospective students must have at least two years' professional work experience, as well as an educational background in economics, law or social sciences. Executive MPA has exchange programmes with the ESCP Europe, the Copenhagen Business School and the University of Bern. [13]

PhD

The Hertie School also offers a doctoral programme in governance as part of the Berlin Graduate School for Transnational Studies (BTS), a joint endeavour of the Free University of Berlin (FUB), the Hertie School and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.

In autumn 2012, the Hertie School welcomed its first PhD cohort. PhD candidates take core curriculum courses in their first year while beginning their dissertation research and are expected to complete their PhDs within three years.
