This Diploma provides an overview of the variety of approaches to public policy and management, from a historical and comparative perspective.
The courses move through techniques of policy analysis and implementation to discussion of particular policy issues. The course materials cover a range of policy issues and a variety of socio-economic contexts, levels of government and regime types.
Graduates in Policy Studies are likely to work in government, at national and sub-national levels, both as politicians and officials, in international organisations offering help to governments, in consultancies in public sector analysis and reform, and in NGOs operating in development and service delivery fields.
