It's difficult to typify the ideal candidate for education policy and management because we appreciate the opportunity to learn about and to get to know each of our applicants. Unique story in education and what their career goals and aspirations are, however. I think that successful applicants. In general share a few qualities that I can share with you now the 1st is some professional experience.
And this is because we feel strongly that some professional experience will help you make the most out of the flexible curriculum here in a PM in the many different choices. You can make are better utilized if you have some professional work experience under your belt. This doesn't necessarily mean.
Experience and education, although many of our students and applicants do have prior experience and education. Some experience to develop your professional identity. I think is helpful, though it's worth saying that we welcome a handful of exceptional applicants directly from undergraduate school each year, so if you don't have professional experience. Certainly I don't want to discourage you from applying if you think this is the right place for you.
Secondly successful applicants are committed and passionate about the field of Education. You have demonstrated that you have some potential ability for leadership or systems level engagement in education, so some work experience commitment to education and some indication that you are interested in or show.
