The Institute of Public Administration and Management was established in 1997 as a joint venture between the University of Malta and the public service with a view to fostering the study and practice of public administration and management.

The Institute currently runs an undergraduate diploma course - the Diploma in Public Administration - which provides a two-year programme of education and training for serving public officers who can expect promotion to middle management grades of the public service or local government.

The Institute collaborates with the Department of Public Policy by offering a Public Management option in the MA programme in Public Policy. The Institute also runs a Senior Management Development Programme in collaboration with the public service.

Research interests include: the quality of governance in Mediterranean states, both Southern European and North African; institutional design and institutional performance in small states and public management improvement in small states.
