LSE PPA vs UCL IIPP – what’s the actual reputation of these programmes?

Hi everyone,

I’m deciding between two policy programmes in London:

• MSc Public Policy and Administration at LSE

• MPA at UCL’s Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP)

I’d love to hear the real reputation of these programmes from people who studied there (or know people who did).

What are they actually like?

What kinds of students tend to go there?

And if you had to choose between them, which one would you pick and why?

For context, I currently work in policy space and I’m interested in areas like global governance.

Would really appreciate any perspectives.
