About the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy
The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) was established in 2004 with the mission of educating and training the next generation of Asian policymakers and leaders. Situated in Singapore, a neutral observation ground to witness the historic rise of Asia, the School is thus in the right place at the right time.
The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy offers many advantages. It has grown rapidly from 40 students to 400 students, from approximately 50 nations. It offers a global classroom, which provides the ideal setting to understand the common challenges we face with globalisation.
The School also offers unique insights into the Asian public policy experience at a time when the world has recognised that the 21st century will be the Asian century. This is the place to network with future generations of Asian leaders. The faculty excels in both teaching and research.
The School’s learning environment is further enhanced by a steady stream of distinguished speakers, which has included Tony Blair, Paul Kagame, senior Chinese and Indian ministers, Robert Zoellick, and Nobel Laureates Amartya Sen, Douglass North, Elinor Ostrom and Kofi Annan.
The LKY School provides students a unique environment that is at once Asian and global. Partnerships with leading institutions give students the opportunity to pursue double degrees or semester exchanges in Asia, North America and Europe. The school’s membership in the prestigious Global Public Policy Network gives Master in Public Policy students an opportunity to earn a double degree from the three other members of the network – the LSE, Sciences Po, Paris, and SIPA, Columbia. We were also the first institution to establish a double degree with the University of Tokyo since its founding in 1877.
Also, as a result of our close partnership with Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Master in Public Management candidates have the opportunity to spend one semester of their one-year term studying there. And our exchange programmes allow students to spend a semester at Georgetown University, Germany’s Hertie School of Governance, the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, or Tsinghua University in Beijing
The school’s research centres have become magnets for leading academics. The Asia Competitiveness Institute studies ways to boost the region’s productivity, while the Centre on Asia and Globalisation examines the impact of globalisation on Asia and Asia’s role in global governance. Singapore’s own policies are the focus at the Institute of Policy Studies, while comparative water management, conservation, and use are central themes at the Institute of Water Policy.
