Overview

This is a comprehensive postgraduate program in housing policy and management that is taught by nationally and internationally recognised academic staff.

The program provides a thorough examination of the theory and practice of public policy administration and housing management.

It is of direct relevance as a policy qualification for the purposes of early and mid-career development and provides a conceptual and practical framework for students wishing to proceed further with careers in the public sector and non-government organisations.

Course aims

Students who successfully complete the program will be able to:

  • understand factors affecting housing policy in Australia and other nations
  • identify and understand most of the main theories, issues and complexities shaping the environment in which contemporary policymakers work
  • demonstrate an understanding of the knowledge required, and be able to apply this to the processes and choices facing contemporary policy makers
  • demonstrate a critical understanding of the issues and debates about public policy development and the role of government
  • demonstrate a capacity to apply this understanding to practical examples of policymaking
  • demonstrate an understanding of housing markets and their operation
