Graduate Certificate in Public Policy

About

Support the frameworks of society

Public policy shapes our lives. It governs everything from how we do business, to how our health, welfare and education systems operate, and how our nation engages with the world.

Those who set and/or influence policy can create profound change by improving things like community equity, diversity, wellbeing, security and prosperity. Our Graduate Certificate in Public Policy starts you on that path.

Studied over six months full-time, the graduate certificate provides a solid foundation of knowledge and skills in policy processes, analysis and design, and governance institutions.

The degree is highly interdisciplinary. It integrates knowledge from the University's world-class experts in: politics; international relations; economics; law; environmental and social sciences; strategic communications; philosophy and more. You will gain awareness of:

the political, legal and ethical issues affecting public policy
public policy's underlying economic principles
effective community engagment processes.
