PhD in Public Policy

Governance relies on knowledge, and good public policy and good policy-making require excellent research.

They require research that is sound in its methods to identify and document the consequences of public policies and the prospects for their reform. They require research that is broad, taking into account the precedents, players and processes that affect the origin and design of policies and the ways they are implemented.

Our PhD in Public Policy prepares you to undertake such research, providing the conceptual and methodological tools needed to study public policies across a range of jurisdictions and fields.
