MPP Student Ambassador

Hey! My name is Irmak and I am the Student Ambassador for the Master's Programme of Public Policy at Maastricht University & UNU-Merit

04/09/2026

Can’t believe it’s over 🥹 Experiencing MPP with these lovely people has honestly been one of the best things I’ve gotten to be part of, from the deadlines and STATA struggles to the trips, the karaoke nights, and every random little moment in between. To my cohort: thank you for the passion, the kindness, the way you showed up for each other and for me, it made this role feel like more than a role. Wishing the next ambassador all the joy and love this year brought us, you’re in for something special. This isn’t really goodbye, just a huge thank you 🤍

This is just a glance at the range of topics our cohort explored and so many more are possible! Hope this gives the next cohort some inspiration for where your own thesis journey could go 🌱

Where’d all the time go? 🥹 From day one to closing ceremony, this cohort gave me memories I’ll carry forever. Grateful for every face in this collage and here’s to the friendships that started in a classroom and turned into something so much more 💛

Last months in the MPP that tasted like coffee and felt like golden hour. Birthday cake in the park, kingsday on a blanket in the sun, thesis chapters written and rewritten, and all the people who made this year what it was woven through every moment ❤️🌷 With the closing ceremony looming in the corner (12 days away now 😱) I’m trying to hold onto all of it before it becomes a memory…

Today, EU applications close - 1st of June 23:59. So for everyone submitting today: you are at the very beginning of something really special 🌻
