Application checklist
- Admission application to a Hertie MPP, MIA or Master of Data Science and AI for Public Policy programme
- Evidence of nationality in the eligible country list
- Evidence of economic disadvantage / underrepresented background
- Statement of commitment to social impact
- Check official programme page for the 2027-cycle deadline and remaining documents
Application tips
- This is a distinct programme from Hertie's generic full scholarships: it adds a monthly stipend and mentoring, so do not confuse the two packages
- Prepare evidence of economic challenge and social-impact commitment — both are core to this programme's profile, not optional extras
- Use Hertie's published priority pattern (non-EU/EEA 15 January) as your planning deadline and verify the 2027-cycle date on the programme page before submitting
- Target the MPP, MIA or Data Science for Public Policy programme that best matches your impact record rather than applying generically
