The Bachelor of Public Administration is a four-year program consisting of one year in foundation year and three years in the public administration academic program.

The academic program will provide students with the knowledge on legal principles, international legal instruments, legal interpretation, international dispute resolution mechanism, and calculation of damages caused by international disputes. Students can further improve their English language skills related to speaking, reading and writing.
