Unit Catalogue

This unit provides an opportunity for students to develop critically reflexive skills for independent project work through the completion of a small individual or group project. A framework is provided within which students can approach the guided study of a particular area of interest and specialisation at an introductory postgraduate level. Students will be expected to apply a critical lens to their exploration of theoretical and operational themes in an area of public policy related to their work or interest and report on their findings. Critical analysis of relevant literature (and when appropriate, internal work documents, grey literature and other authoritative sources of information) will enable students to prepare a strong grounding in public policy practice and professional practice in general.
