The Public Policy coursework program at the University of Sydney has a strong public sector focus and is primarily intended for those who serve, or seek to serve, in government. The courses aim to develop an understanding of the political, social, economic and organisational processes that shape, change and limit public policy programs. Major areas of interest include policy analysis, organisational behaviour, and issues management. Research may be undertaken in areas such as public sector management, substantive policy areas (media, social welfare), gender and public policy, public administration, media studies, Australian politics and leadership.
