Overview

Master of Public Policy

With the Master of Public Policy, you will learn how you can contribute to positive policy outcomes and participate in debates regarding power, politics, and complexity.

Taught by leading policy academics and industry professionals, the course reflects the latest debates, issues, and approaches to global, national, and local policymaking and development

You'll explore and develop frameworks for issues such as:

  • evidence-based policy and Practice
  • global governance
  • equity
  • public sector reform

Graduates work as policymakers, advocates, and managers in human service, government, and non-government organisations, and, increasingly, in the private and corporate sectors.

Most of the classes are held in a group workshop format for you to interact with others and benefit from the experience and knowledge of your peers.

 RMIT University offers a variety of learning and teaching approaches, including lectures, case studies, collaborative group workshops, presentations, and group discussions.

Ongoing assessment throughout the semester includes policy briefs and submissions, research-based essays, class exercises, oral presentations, and applied policy projects.
