The Master of Public Policy at UWA will give you the necessary multidisciplinary understanding of these roles, and help you to understand, design and evaluate economic and public policies and regulation and the law.

The Public Administration and Governance stream focuses on the governance aspects of public policy. It's designed to give you a solid academic foundation to enable you to formulate, implement, and evaluate public policies, providing you with a wealth of knowledge to respond proactively and strategically to public, economic and social needs.

You’ll be taught by lecturers working at the cutting edge of public policy analysis. You’ll explore the political, economic and social forces that shape contemporary public policy issues.

This will enable you to think creatively about public policy design and delivery, and your role within it.

The Master of Public Policy is designed to nurture current and future leaders of government, non-profit, and private sector organisations that are aimed at pursuing the public interest. Graduates may be employed in a wide variety of public areas, ranging from policy analysis, through to management of departments and agencies.

This course is particularly useful for people with a range of skills in other areas (such as science or engineering), as it will complement your skills in these areas, and enable you to progress through to senior levels of policy or management positions in the public sector.
