Graduate Certificate in Public Policy
The Graduate Certificate in Public Policy is designed to give graduate students an understanding of the role of the government in economic activity and public policy decision making. Students undertake a specialisation in either Economics or Public Administration and Governance. It focuses on how the government interacts with the economy through; for example: economic growth, stability, taxation, infrastructure provision, regulation, health, defence, education, and social security. Students who successfully complete the graduate certificate may be eligible to progress into the Master of Public Policy with full credit for completed units.
