The LSE School of Public Policy is an international community where ideas and practice meet. Our approach creates professionals with the ability to analyse, understand and resolve the challenges of contemporary governance. The School of Public Policy was founded in August 2018 under the leadership of Professor Andrés Velasco.

The School of Public Policy offers a range of graduate degree programmes designed for students at various stages of their careers. These include:

Master of Public Administration (MPA): A two-year programme for early-career professionals.

Master of Public Policy (MPP): A one-year programme designed for mid-career professionals with at least five years’ experience.

The Luksic Scholarship for Public Service aims to support the creation of trained leaders and experts with a public vocation in Chile. The Luksic Scholarship is available for Chilean applicants for the Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Public Policy (MPP) who demonstrate a track record of academic excellence, a commitment to public service, and the potential to become a future expert and leader in their field.

A total of four scholarships are available. The scholarship includes full cost of tuition for the duration of the programme. Successful awardees will receive a stipend to assist with living costs for the duration of their studies and a one-off payment to help cover the costs of relocating to London. 

To be considered for the Luksic Scholarship for Public Service, applicants must apply to the MPA or MPP programme. They must then complete Graduate Financial Support Application form on the Graduate Application Portal by the relevant deadline.
