Bachelor of Public Policy (Honours)

The Bachelor of Public Policy (Honours) program provides students with a solid foundation in understanding how government, society, and policy influence each other. The curriculum covers key topics such as policy analysis, governance, ethics, and the role of institutions in shaping public decisions. Students are encouraged to develop critical thinking skills and learn how to design, evaluate, and implement policies that can address complex social issues.

Throughout the program, students gain practical experience through research projects, internships, and engaging with real-world policy challenges. The Honours component pushes students to deepen their understanding by conducting independent research, often culminating in a thesis. This combination of coursework and hands-on learning prepares graduates to work in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, or policy advisory roles, equipping them with skills to contribute effectively in various public sector contexts.
