Master's student Romina Rojas: "I would like to reduce inequality in my country, which is one of the most important challenges that we are facing. Social protection is about improving the well-being of the most disadvantaged populations. The specialisation gives you the skills to formulate a proposal that is technically viable but also politically feasible. This is exactly what I was looking for."

Social protection involves policies and programmes to reduce the incidence and severity of poverty and vulnerability. This Master's specialisation in Social Protection Policy provides an interdisciplinary and in-depth examination of social protection policies, frameworks, systems, interventions and instruments aimed at giving future policy analysts and practitioners a toolbox to tackling the relevant challenging issues in public policy. It consists of applied courses backed by traditional and emerging theories, while incorporating local, regional and international contexts.  

The specialisation in Social Protection Policy is one of the seven specialisations offered within the Master of Science in Public Policy and Human Development, a one-year double-degree programme run by United Nations University-MERIT and Maastricht University in Maastricht, the Netherlands.
