The Graduate Diploma in Public Policy and Management (GDPPM) is designed to cater for graduates working in the public and not-for-profit sectors who wish to undertake study in public policy and management at graduate level. The course aims to provide broad training in the range of disciplines important to public policy and public management. In all cases course content and semester assessment is geared to relating the material to current public sector issues and, where relevant, to workplace applications.
On completion of the course, students should:
Applicants require a pass degree or equivalent qualification from a recognised tertiary institution plus a minimum of two years relevant employment experience after completion of that degree, or an executive certificate from this faculty with an average grade of credit or above.

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 for two years work experience after completion of that degree may be waived.
This is a fee-paying course. Candidates should consult the Graduate School of Government as to the 1997 course fee. Course fees are set and reviewed annually and are therefore subject to change.
