The Graduate Certificate in Public Policy is designed to give graduate students an understanding of the role of the government in economic activity, public policy and legal decision making. It focuses on how the government interacts with the economy and the law and examines, for example: economic growth, stability, taxation, criminal justice, infrastructure provision, regulation, health, defence, education and social security.
