The Postgraduate Diploma in Policy Studies / PG Cert in Public Policy provides an overview of the variety of approaches to public policy and management from a historical and comparative perspective.
The modules move through techniques of policy analysis and implementation to discussion of particular policy issues. The module materials cover a range of policy issues and a variety of socio-economic contexts, levels of government and regime types.
You should either have a good degree in a social sciences discipline (qualifications in other subjects will be assessed on their merits), or an equivalent qualification and suitable relevant work experience. You are required to have internet access in order to participate in this programme.
