Policy-making aims to address social, environmental and economic issues that impact society. The Master of Public Policy and Management enables students to make a contribution to many complex policy problems in the contemporary world. Students who complete this course are highly sought after in government, the public sector, the not-for-profit sector and the business world. We’ve worked closely with government, the public sector and industry contacts to design this course to help you make a difference in your public policy career. You’ll get the knowledge and skills you need to analyse, design and implement policy in complex institutional and regulatory environments. The course offers professional-based electives including project management, ethics in government, and leading and managing non-government organisations. You can also choose policy-based electives to specialise in areas such as energy policy, environmental impact and management, health policy and law, or add up to two language units in either Indonesian or Japanese.

Admission to the Master degree is available to students who have a Bachelor degree in any area. All students must satisfy Murdoch University's minimum English requirements by demonstrating competency in the English Language.
