Politics and Policy


The Politics and Policy program at Deakin University is designed to build the knowledge and skills of professionals working in the governance environment of today and tomorrow.

The Politics and Policy courses at postgraduate level teach professional skills in:

  • Policy research
  • Program development and evaluation
  • Management of government and community relations

Particular attention is given to:

  • The political context of public policy, and the norms of liberal democracy, through core units - Democratic Governance and Governance and Accountability.
  • The relationships between the public sector, non-government organisations and business, and between different levels of government.

The Politics and Policy program has been designed in consultation with stakeholders in government, community and industry to promote collaborative learning.
