Master of Public Policy and Management

Program Overview

Policy-making aims to address social, environmental and economic issues that impact society. The Master of Public Policy and Management enables you to make a contribution to many complex policy problems in the contemporary world. Students who complete this course are highly sought after in government, the public sector, the not-for-profit sector and the business world.

We’ve worked closely with government, the public sector and industry contacts to design this course to help you make a difference in your public policy career. You’ll get the knowledge and skills you need to analyse, design and implement policy in complex institutional and regulatory environments.

The course offers professional-based electives including project management, ethics in government, and leading and managing non-government organisations.

You can also choose policy-based electives to specialise in areas such as energy policy, environmental impact and management, health policy and law, or add a language unit.
