Overview

Master of Public Policy and Management

Policy-making aims to address social, environmental and economic issues that impact society. 

The Master of Public Policy and Management enables you to contribute 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.

Murdoch has 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 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 energy policy, environmental impact and management, health policy and law, or add a language unit. 

Take on a professional internship or practical project to put your learning into practice as you gain academic credit. 

Past students have interned with the WA State Parliament and public sector agencies and researched real-world policy problems.
