This is a new degree offered by the University of Adelaide School of Economics which aims to provide students with a master degree with a specialisation in the related field of Public Policy, for capacity building research and policy economists. It will provide an understanding of the motivations for and processes of policy making, from an economic perspective.
Graduates will develop the capacity to analyse policy effectiveness, design reform programs and identify the challenges to policy implementation. This program is designed for mid-career professionals in the public sector, public affairs or government relations. It will also be highly beneficial and relevant for students entering government service careers, and those intending to work in the private sector dealing with government. The course is designed for students with or without a background in economics.
Graduates with a qualification majoring in economics (or students who have completed qualifying courses) can complete the program in 1 year and local students may study part-time.
Students whose degree is in another discipline, such as arts, engineering, science or business, must complete the Graduate Certificate in Economics before being admitted to the Masters program. Completion of the Graduate Certificate plus the Masters degree will take 2 years of full-time study.
