Master of Public Policy and Management

MPP programs generally focus more on the analysis and development of public policies, equipping students with the skills to work on policy research, formulation, or evaluation. The Master of Public Policy and Management (MPPM) combines the policy focus with a broader emphasis on public management, strategic management in the public sector, budgeting and financial management, preparing students to lead and manage in the public sector, private sector (such as consultancy firms) and not-for-profit organisations.

The course takes 2 years to complete full time, or 4 years part time, and is offered on campus at Parkville.

The Master of Public Policy and Management has two intake periods per year — March and July.

The Master of Public Policy and Management is designed for those seeking careers in national and international leadership and government roles, as well as those looking to benefit from hands-on experience in public, private or community sector management and gain transferrable theoretical and practical skills for a mobile career.

Yes, Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) are available for the Master of Public Policy and Management, which may significantly reduce tuition costs for eligible domestic students.
