About this program
The Graduate Diploma in Public Policy at the University of Sydney gives students a critical, multidisciplinary perspective on public policy at the global, national and local level, with the opportunity to examine specialist dimensions such as social, economic or international policy. Core units cover the fundamentals of public policy and public administration, with selective units and electives from related disciplines, and the course can serve as a pathway to the full Master of Public Policy.
The course suits people working in or aiming for government and the public sector, as well as those in non-government and private organisations who want to understand government's role in policymaking. Graduates move into policy analyst, government adviser and strategic planning roles.
