Course summary

The achievement of diverse educational goals depends not only on effective practices but also on the existence of enabling education policy frameworks. And to develop such policy frameworks, leaders in education need a detailed and multifaceted understanding of policy processes and their complex interactions with economic, social and political contexts.

This Master of Public Policy in Education Policy will equip you with the skills and knowledge to make a positive difference for education policy. You'll be able to analyse, critique and shape public policy, from the definition of policy problems and the formulation of policy interventions to their implementation and explore contemporary issues in education policy and practice through a comparative view on a range of international cases to apply your high-level analytical and problem-solving skills to the key area of education policy.
