    About

    Gain the expertise that policymakers need to create strategic and operational policies that make life better—locally, nationally, and internationally.

    The Master of Public Policy equips you with the knowledge, skills, and competencies you need to provide high-quality policy advice under pinned by a strong sense of public purpose and integrity. You'll acquire a nuanced understanding of policy design, analysis, and implementation in the real world.

    Our association with key players in government means you will learn from policymakers and advisers involved in strategic and operational decision-making.

    Professor Arthur Grimes is one of the academics teaching the Master of Public Policy. Join him as he poses a series of questions about the role of governments in ensuring sustainability and prosperity—a topic that you’ll cover as part of the programme.
