It offers master's degrees in Global Affairs, Public Policy, European, Russian, and Asia-Pacific studies. The school also offers a certificate program in global journalism. HistoryIt occupies the historic Devonshire House, a former residential hall of the university's Trinity College, and in 2012 opened a second location at 315 Bloor Street West (Observatory Site) after an $80 million collective contribution from the Peter and Melanie Munk Foundation, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Ontario. The School is located in the north and south wings of Devonshire House building on Devonshire Place, which is shared with Trinity College's John W. Graham Library. In 2012 the School opened its second location at the Observatory site at 315 Bloor Street West (formerly Admissions and Awards) which houses the offices of the Citizen Lab and the Master of Global Affairs program. It was founded as the Munk Centre for International Studies in 2000, named after Canadian businessman and philanthropist Peter Munk who made a $6.4 million donation to finance the construction.[2] The current interim director is Randall Hansen, who is also the director of the School's Centre for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies. On April 6, 2018, the University of Toronto announced that the Munk School of Global Affairs would merge with the School of Public Policy and Governance to become the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.[3] The merger took effect on July 1, 2018. AcademicsMaster of Global AffairsThe Munk School's Master of Global Affairs (MGA) program is two-year interdisciplinary professional degree aimed at equipping students with an awareness of global and financial systems, global civil society, and global strategic and security issues. Students are also encouraged to think critically and responsibly on global issues, and are provided with leadership training and management skill-building. The program requires students to complete a relevant internship with an NGO, an international organization such as the UN or WTO, or at an embassy or consulate abroad. After a general first year of study, students specialize in one of three streams: Global Economy and Markets Global Civil Society Global Institutions MGA students can also complete their degrees concurrently with an MBA at the Rotman School of Management or with a JD at the University Of Toronto Faculty Of Law. The Munk School and the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) also offer a dual degree program between their respective MGA and Master in Public Policy (MPP) degrees. Master of Public PolicyThe Munk School's Master of Public Policy (MPP) program is a two-year professional degree, with a core curriculum emphasizing practical and applied dimensions of policymaking. Core courses include micro and macroeconomics, legal analysis, political science and quantitative methods for policy analysis. The curriculum also includes five electives, that allow students to bridge the spheres of domestic policy, law, and international policy. Invited visiting public sector leaders and external researchers bridge theory and practice, providing contact with senior professionals in government and the broader public, private and community sectors. Second Year MPP students can compete for exchanges with partner institutions in Europe and Asia. Partner institutions include:
In addition to the two-year course work students are required to complete an internship during the summer between the first and second year. The school internship partners include the Canadian Federal Public Service, the Ontario Public Service, the City of Toronto, the City of Mississauga, as well as many non-governmental organizations and research think tanks.

CriticismThe school has been criticized by students and faculty for accepting $35 million from Peter Munk and the terms of agreement between the school and Peter Munk.[4] Paul Hamel and John Valleau, faculty members at University of Toronto, stated that that agreement will allow Munk family to determine the university’s priorities in place of the faculty and students, reduce the academic independence, and allow the Munk family to shape the academic work.[5][6] [7]Research and public education
