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 Diploma in Public Policy prepares you to play a senior role.
What will you do?
Studied over one year full-time, the graduate diploma provides specialist knowledge in policy processes and governance institutions; high-level skills in policy analysis; and the capability to design sound policy in complex environments.
Where could it take you?
You might pursue a career in politics or the public service
. You could analyse and contribute to policy in a major industry body or consulting firm. Perhaps you'll interpret policy for a large company, a lobbying organisation,
or not-for-profit. You could also go on to further study with our Master of Public Policy.
