The NUS Bachelor of Business Administration with Honours, BBA (Hons), and Master in Public Policy (MPP) Concurrent degree programme aims to prepare the next generation of policy leaders to apply business principles to social and environmental issues, as well as to address corporate social responsibility and business ethics concerns. This dual-degree offering had been developed for would-be professionals in the public, private and non-profit sectors with an interest in the global dimensions of public affairs and national policies.

There is a convergence in the practices of public sector and private sector companies, and in the management of private enterprises and state or public enterprises. Hence, Business Policy and Public Policy, Business Administration and Public Administration, or Business Administration and Public Policy are closely intertwined and correlated. The set of management precepts applicable to private enterprises draws parallel in the government sector, particularly in the context and framework of government-linked companies in this dynamic continent.

This Concurrent programme by the School of Business, the University Scholars Programme and the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy develops versatile leaders to tackle the biggest issues. BBA's managerial leadership training, coupling with USP's multidisciplinary intellectual nurturing, culminates with MPP's unique exposure to country-wide policy shaping.

The rigorous academic curriculum is well complemented by the intimate networking among selective like-spirited future leaders, many nominated by their own governments from more than 20 countries in this part of the world and beyond, while others are double-masters students from New York, London and Paris. The experience is thus ideal for young people in this region who aspire to lead in the public sector and its enterprises, or in private or non-profit sector areas that cherish the widest international connections or require insights into issues on the region's national agendas.

Eligible students in the second semester of their study in the MPP programme may further apply to any double-masters degree programme pairing the NUS MPP with a foreign masters program in the prestigious Global Public Policy Network (GPPN), i.e., U.S.'s Columbia University's Master of Public Administration (MPA), U.K.'s London School of Economics and Political Science's Master in Public Administration (MPA), or French Sciences Po's Master of Public Affairs (MPA). Dual-masters students normally require an extra half a year beyond the Concurrent programme.
