    Hertie School: A Leading Educational Institution for Governance and Politics

    About Us

    The Hertie School, founded in December 2003 by the Hertie Foundation, is a state-recognized private university in Berlin that specializes in training leaders in the fields of government, business, and civil society. As the first professional school for Public Policy in Germany, the Hertie School offers a variety of study programs characterized by interdisciplinary and practice-oriented teaching, top-notch research, and a comprehensive international network.

    Study Programs

    The Hertie School offers several master's programs, including the Master of Public Policy (MPP), the Master of International Affairs (MIA), and the Master of Data Science for Public Policy. Additionally, for experienced professionals, the Executive Master of Public Administration and various continuing education seminars are available. Since 2012, the Hertie School has also had the right to confer doctoral degrees and offers a doctoral program in Governance[1][3][5].

    Mission and Values

    The mission of the Hertie School is to equip students with the latest insights, analytical and practical skills to understand and solve societal issues at local, national, and international levels. The motto "Understand today. Shape tomorrow" reflects the focus on interdisciplinary learning, intersectoral alignment, and international orientation. The university places great importance on a culture of responsibility, public discussion, and academic debate[3][5].

    Sustainability and Initiatives

    The Hertie School is strongly committed to engaging with its historical past, particularly regarding the "Aryanization" of the Hertie department store chain during the National Socialist era. The Hertie Foundation has commissioned a scientific study to address and make this history transparent[3][4].

    Furthermore, the Hertie School strives to integrate a global perspective in teaching and research through its close collaboration with other renowned institutions, such as ESCP Europe Business School Berlin and Copenhagen Business School. These partnerships enable students to participate in exchange programs and benefit from diverse national and international perspectives[1][3].

    Organization and Location

    The Hertie School is supported by a board of trustees and a supervisory board that shape and oversee the overall development and economic processes of the university. Currently, the university is located in the Quartier 110 building on Berlin's Friedrichstraße, with plans to move to the listed Robert Koch Forum once the renovation work is completed[1][3].
