Bennett School of Public Policy (BSPP)

The University of Cambridge is establishing the Bennett School of Public Policy – a flagship, multi-disciplinary policy school, which will integrate and expand the research and engagement activities of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, adding existing and new teaching programmes. It will open in Autumn 2025.


About the Bennett School of Public Policy
The ambition of the Bennett School is to become a leading school of public policy in the UK and wider world, for public policy thinking, research, teaching and engagement with practitioners from policy, business and civic organisations. It will take over the management and delivery of the well-established M.Phil in Public Policy, currently located in the Department of Politics & International Studies, and will launch a new M.Phil in Digital Policy in October 2026.
