About

Drive economic, social and political change with innovative research

Pursue an advanced research project in politics, public policy, or international relations. Guided by expert supervisors with strong links to government and industry you will conduct independent research in a field that is important to you and where you can make a difference. You will have the opportunity to contribute new knowledge and expand your understanding of the political forces that steer the world and the countries within it.

The study program includes a mixture of compulsory and elective topics, as well as individual research.

Topics cover areas such as public policy, governance and public policy, economics and public policy and a professional research project.

Some electives can be incorporated from other graduate programs including public sector management, international relations, international business, environmental management, social work, public health and educational management.

Masters students have the opportunity to undertake an internship. A Flinders' internship helps you graduate work-ready and provides experience directly related to a specialist area in your degree.
