Public Affairs Consulting generally refers to the building and development of relations between an client firms and organization with politicians, governments and other decision-makers. Given the broad nature of public affairs, what exactly the industry encapsulates remains a point of discussion. While often equated with lobbying, this is usually only a small part of what a public affairs practitioner might do. Other typical functions include research, strategy planning and providing advice.

Given the field of study and breadth of skills required,  many Munk alumni have gone on to successful careers in public affairs consulting.
