Become a multi-skilled change-maker
Public sector leaders require a range of skills to create policies and make decisions that are both effective and comprehensive. To reach the next level in your career, you must become an expert who can bring these skills together to address every aspect of a challenge or task that comes your way.
Each of our online courses in government and public policy focuses on a core topic, but all share the same objective: to empower future leaders to help create a world that is better led, better served and better governed.
Following our multi-course pathway will prepare you to consider and navigate everything at stake when making policy decisions. We aim to enrich your skillset and maximise your ability to make an impact and drive change in your professional role.

Our public policy pathway courses
Maximise the impact you make in your organisation and wider society by progressing through our full portfolio of public policy courses.
Below is our suggested pathway if you are looking to make a real difference in public policy. However, you can take as many of our courses as you like, in any order.
1. Economics for Public Policy
The reality of modern government and business is that most of the evidence we deal with is economic – either relating to money or the science of happiness. This course will enable you to communicate effectively with economists. Through an introduction to economics for public policy, you will develop the ability to critically analyse economic findings, becoming a discerning consumer of economic analysis.
2. Values and Public Policy: Political Philosophy in Practice
Any policy decision is about values – even in the most technical or economic decisions, a value judgement has already been made. This course will help you to understand the key moral and ethical value concepts that should inform public policy.
3. Evidence in Public Policy
Values alone, however, are not enough. Good judgements in public policy require reliable evidence (including economic evidence). Bringing together everything you learned previously, this course will enable you to hone the skills needed to design and implement policies informed not only by morals and ethics but also by concrete facts.
