Government decisions influence our lives on a daily basis. They affect the price of our housing, clothes, food, transport, and water. They determine the types of jobs we do, how much we are paid and where we live.

Studying Public Policy equips you with the skills to understand and interpret current affairs, deal with the government in your future profession or business, and work within the government or for groups that lobby government. It is particularly suitable for students who want a career in the public sector, and for employees of organizations that are seeking to influence public policies.
