    After the completion of MPM class activities, students are expected to use their skills in a real setting. As such, students will undertake a field project in a public or public-related organization. Internships give participants the opportunity to tackle actual management problems in a real organization. Students are asked to generate professional value for the hosting institution, receiving in exchange a valuable learning experience.

    Internships are carried out over a period of at least 3 months and involve a full-time commitment. During this period, each student is supervised by one MPM faculty member.

    Internships may be carried out in any country.

    Potential hosting institutions are:
    - supranational and international institutions;
    - national, regional and local government institutions, agencies and companies involved into the delivery of public services;
    - NPOs and NGOs;
    - research centers;
    - consultancy companies.
