Cambridge MPP work placement

Thinking about doing an MPhil Public Policy at Cambridge next year. Was wondering if the work placements are any good? Do you get to choose the type of organisation you work with? When do these take place? I am more interested in the NGO/Development space but seems the partners in the last couple of years have been more Finance/STEM based?

Hi, I got an offer to be a part of MPhil Public Policy this year so I have no idea yet about the matter you are asking. However, where can I check about the last year partners that you said mostly more into Finance/STEM based?

I read on another online forum of previous students saying a lot of the reports used data analytics and a few people from stem backgrounds were being reassured they have a lot of financial partners to engage with. The website (https://www.polis.cam.ac.uk/study-at-polis/graduates/MPhilPP/work-placements) with past placement examples sort of showed that intersection between Finance/STEM and C&S topics:
This website has past partners but its quite outdated now (2013): https://cambridgemppblog.wordpress.com/support-the-mpp/mpp-work-placement-supporters/

Hey, congrats! Applied for the same program, but im still "under review" by the department. When did you submit ur application?

Mid November, got my offer in early December. What about you?

Hello, congrats on the offer!
A question on the date of the application. I'm wondering if they consider the date we submitted the application or the date by which all our references are in? Based on your experience, would you be able to guess what it's likely to be?
Thanks in advance!

I submitted my application after all of my references were submitted hehe and I am Gates Cambridge applicant
