Master's Track
Master's Track Overview
The JISPA Master’s Track is the flagship program of the scholarship, offering scholars the opportunity to pursue a specially designed, English-taught master’s degree in economics or public policy at one of the IMF’s partner universities in Japan. Although each partner university is well-reputed, each has different strengths and focus on fostering different skills. Therefore, applicants are strongly encouraged to carefully review the program content and the Skills to be Attained offered by each university before applying, as they must specify their preferred university in their application.
Who is JISPA Looking For?
JISPA looks for motivated officials whose applications are formally endorsed by their governmental agencies. Candidates should demonstrate a strong commitment to advancing their countries’ economic development and enhancing public welfare. While many of the scholars come from central banks and ministries of finance, the program is also open to officials from other government agencies involved in macroeconomic policy formulation.
