City campus
Fee paying course: course fee $5000; subject fee $1250
Attendance not required
This
course will equip students to understand the conceptual framework of public
policy and management in the public sector, to be able to analyse the current
major challenges in public policy and public management along with a range of
solutions being canvassed by modern governments to address them, and to be able
to apply the knowledge and skills gained from the course to the workplace.
This course is available to graduates who are public sector managers, from
Federal, State and local government, non-profit organisations and statutory
authorities, and private sector managers working in government relations
areas.
Completion of the course provides the opportunity to articulate into further
graduate study programs.
Admission
is open to managers with a pass degree or equivalent from a registered tertiary
institution and who have had a minimum of two years work experience after
completion of that degree. Relevant work experience would be in the public or
not-for-profit sectors, or the government relations areas in the private
sector. A candidate with a four-year honours degree of at least 2A (or
equivalent) may be exempted from this provision. Where students have had
substantial managerial work experience for at least five years prior to or
during the acquiring of an undergraduate degree, the requirement of two years
work experience after completion of that degree may be waived. Managers with a
minimum of six years work experience in these sectors who do not already hold a
tertiary degree may also apply.
Applicants should note that there are two intakes per year to this course, one
to commence in first semester, and the second to commence in second semester.
It is strongly recommended that students have access to a personal computer and a modem to facilitate email communication with their lecturer, other participants, and electronic access to library services.
The
course of study is one year part-time. Students should enrol in two subjects
each semester.
To complete the course requirements students must complete four of the
following subjects:
Assessment will be a combination of assignments and final examination for each subject. Generally a pass is required in the final examination to pass the subject.
Completing the Graduate Certificate in Public Policy and Management with at least a credit average will allow direct entry into the Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Management.
Students who have credit for graduate studies which are equivalent in content to those prescribed for the Graduate Certificate in Public Policy and Management, and which would fall within the time limits prescribed, may apply for equivalent credit towards the Certificate to a maximum of two subjects. Students may also be required to substitute subjects where they have studied them previously at the undergraduate level.
