Professor David Coen, Director of the Global Governance Institute and Head of the UCL School of Public Policy, met former US President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative commitment announcement to celebrate the creation of the Pentland Scholarship for students from the global south to study on the UCL School of Public Policy/NYU Wagner Executive MPA in Global Public Policy and Management Master programme.

The Global EMPA programme is intended to equip talented professionals, who have at least seven years of management-related experience, to develop their analytical skills and managerial competence so that they are able to provide public policy leadership in conditions of contemporary governance.

The Pentland Scholarship represents a unique partnership which enables talented young professionals from the Global South to take advantage of this innovative one year programme.
