Masters (Coursework)
The Master of Public Leadership and Policy concentrates on exercising and enriching leadership in professional contexts ranging from government departments and statutory authorities, to educational bodies and training authorities, media organisations and advocacy groups.\ Located in the nation's capital in the midst of government and non-government organisations, UNSW Canberra is uniquely placed to interact with Australia's most prominent public leaders. It provides an excellent venue for theorists and practitioners to enhance and expand the study of institutional leadership in settings beyond the corporate sector, and offers students the chance to engage with the nation's most respected public leaders and policy developers on a personal level.\ Students can combine a combination of courses focused on public leadership alongside a rich selection of electives addressing broader issues related to local, national, and global policy and its implementation.
