Crafting public policy has grown increasingly difficult in recent times, given the rising complexity of societal needs, heightened expectations for service quality, and reduced government budgets across many nations. The Master of Public Policy program is tailored to equip you with the expertise to navigate these contemporary challenges.
Our curriculum explores socioeconomic shifts and political factors shaping policy development, along with hurdles in effectively regulating public services and ensuring data-driven decision making. For those focused on policy research, specialized course options are available. The program also offers concentrated study tracks for deeper exploration of specific policy areas.
This 90-credit program can be completed in one year of full-time study or two years part-time. A condensed 60-credit Graduate Diploma option (without thesis) is also offered.
