1 SIR WALTER MURDOCH SCHOOL OF Public Policy and International Affairs

2 A quality educational experience The Sir Walter Murdoch School of Public Policy and International Affairs offers students a unique opportunity to engage with big policy issues, develop highlevel skills and build career opportunities through professional Masters degrees and other graduate programs. Taking advantage of Murdoch University s long engagement with practical policy questions and deep expertise on Australia, Asia and the Indo-Pacific region, the Sir Walter Murdoch School offers degrees in Public Policy and Management, International Affairs, Development Studies and Health Policy and Leadership. Merit-based scholarships are available for both local and international students, including our prestigious Global Voices scholarships exclusively for Sir Walter Murdoch students. Our faculty has recently been ranked as one of Australia s best for policy, politics and international studies (QS and ERA, 2015). Networking and engagement with employers is an important part of the School s offerings. Regular policy seminars and professional development opportunities are offered. Each Masters degree concludes with a capstone experience, enabling students to apply their learning to a practical issue through a policy case study project, a professional internship, or a supervised research thesis. Murdoch University is ranked in the world s top 2% of Higher Education Institutions. (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2016) Designed to fit a busy lifestyle Classes are delivered in flexible formats, designed to fit into a demanding professional life, with units offered in the evenings, on weekends, or in intensive blocks. All classes are taught face-to-face in small group seminars and workshops designed to maximize the on-campus student experience. Murdoch s Library Learning Centre and computer labs are available 24 hours a day, so students can study when it suits them. Previous tertiary qualifications combined with relevant professional experience may qualify students for advanced standing, meaning they could complete a Masters qualification in as little as 12 or 18 months.
