The Master of Public Policy is aimed at middle level managers and professionals in the workforce industries that service the community in Canberra and Australia more widely including the Australian Public Service, local and state governments and not-for-profit sectors aiming to influence government policy.
The degree has a broader focus beyond the practice of lobbying to include advocacy and is aimed at professionals in both the government and non-government organisations providing a practically orientated 'transformative experience'.
The design of the degree is informed by an Indigenous engagement strategy, central to the mission of the University of Canberra and includes a complex and critical issues focus relevant to the needs of a changing and dynamic public sector in Australia.
These include policy development, project and stakeholder management, project planning and development skills and policy implementation.
