Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Administration

The Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Administration provides a basic foundation in the key theoretical, conceptual, and thematic issues in Public Policy and Administration. The study program includes a mixture of compulsory and elective topics, as well as individual research. Topics cover areas such as public policy, governance and public policy, economics and public policy and a professional research project. Electives can be incorporated from public administration, or international relations, and two electives can be selected from anywhere across the university. Flinders University also offers the Master of Public Administration which equips the managers and administrators with knowledge and skills required to effectively manage the business of the government, not-for profit and international organisations and the Master of International Relations, which enables leaders in foreign affairs, defence or international trade to develop skills around security, economics, trade and diplomacy.
