The Paris School of Economics (PSE) is a leading academic institution in Europe, developing research and training in economics with a commitment to academic excellence and contributing to public understanding of economic issues. As the host of several research labs, including J-PAL Europe, PSE contributes to promoting evidence-informed policymaking which is at the core of ADEPT’s vision.

Within the ADEPT network, PSE acts as a “Pipeline University,” taking the Data, Economics, and Design of Policy (DEDP) MicroMasters credential into account in the admissions process for its Master’s in Public Policy and Development (PPD). The PPD program is a highly selective research-oriented program designed to prepare students for PhD studies. It features low tuition fees and offers scholarships, particularly for students from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Students from the DEDP program worldwide who are interested in pursuing a master’s degree at PSE may leverage their MicroMasters coursework: while not a requirement for admission to the PPD program, the admissions committee will consider DEDP coursework (both individual course certificates as well as the full credential, earned by completing three core courses and two electives) when submitted, recognizing the strong foundation the DEDP coursework provides in economics, data analysis, and policy design.

This partnership offers a powerful academic and professional signal for DEDP learners aiming to pursue  graduate study at PSE, while also enriching PSE’s student community with diverse, globally trained candidates.
