A warm welcome to the 2025–2026 full‑time MIPA cohort and the 2025–2027 part‑time MIPA cohort — our largest ever!

This year’s students join us from Hong Kong, Mainland China, the United States, Russia, France, the Netherlands, Norway, and Canada.

As Professor Austin Strange, MIPA Programme Director noted during Sunday’s orientation briefing , beyond their coursework, students are encouraged to collaborate closely with faculty to co-create knowledge and to take part in original research projects throughout the year.

There are social events, a Professionalization Week, and alumni networking opportunities on the way—plenty to look forward to.

This year marks MIPA’s 25th anniversary, and we’ve prepared a short video for everyone—enjoy!
