The Master's Degree in Government and Local Management has a strategy of linkage with the productive and governmental sector to provide support to students in their mobility processes, internships and professional practices. To this end, the graduate program is supported by the guidelines, intentions and agreements established by the UAEH and the ICSHu with the public and private sector, both in Mexico and in the state of Hidalgo. The Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo has signed several collaboration and linkage agreements with institutions related to public administration and local government that strengthen the MGGL. Among which are the following:

  • Instituto Nacional de Administración Pública A.C.: (INAP): for courses and colloquiums and seminars, including the I International Colloquium on Political Science and Public Administration held in 2001.

  • Institute of Public Administration of the State of Hidalgo (IAPH): to establish the bases for carrying out joint activities in the areas of training, teaching, research, dissemination and extension of culture in the field of public administration.

  • National College of Political Science and Public Administration (CNCPyAP): To contribute to the updating of knowledge through the participation of experts in public policy and local government.

  • Colegio Nacional de Ciencias Políticas y Administración Pública, Delegación Hidalgo: Exchange of professors, courses, colloquiums and seminars. 

  • Government of the United Mexican States: Promote technical and scientific cooperation through the development and implementation of programs and projects.

  • Government of the State of Hidalgo: Follow-up of the implementation of national and state population programs.

  • University of Yucatan: To carry out links in the field of political science and public administration research. 

  • Instituto Nacional de Administración Pública A.C.: (INAP): for courses and colloquiums and seminars, including the I International Colloquium on Political Science and Public Administration held in 2001.

  • Institute of Public Administration of the State of Hidalgo (IAPH): to establish the bases for carrying out joint activities in the areas of training, teaching, research, dissemination and extension of culture in the field of public administration.

  • National College of Political Science and Public Administration (CNCPyAP): To contribute to the updating of knowledge through the participation of experts in public policy and local government.

  • Colegio Nacional de Ciencias Políticas y Administración Pública, Delegación Hidalgo: Exchange of professors, courses, colloquiums and seminars.

  • Government of the State of Hidalgo: Follow-up of the implementation of national and state population programs.

  • University of Yucatan: To carry out links in the field of political science and public administration research. 

Finally, the MGGL encourages students' final projects to have a pilot implementation phase in institutions of the three levels of government or in civil associations where they intend to carry out the project. Thus contributing to the linkage with society and the transfer of knowledge from the university to the public sector, contributing to the solutions to public problems facing society in Mexico and in the state of Hidalgo.
