The Post Graduate Diploma / Executive Diploma in Public Policy and Sustainable Development is designed for professionals seeking to develop a deep understanding of policy formulation, governance models, and sustainability frameworks. As the world grapples with economic, social, and environmental challenges, the need for well-informed policy decisions has never been greater. This program equips participants with the skills to analyse, design, and implement effective public policies that promote sustainable development. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and real-world case studies, students will gain expertise in evidence-based policymaking, digital governance, climate policy, social welfare, economic policy, and crisis management.
The curriculum begins with the foundations of public policy and governance, exploring key theories, policy formulation processes, and the role of government and private sectors in implementation. It then delves into sustainable development principles, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate change, and balancing economic growth with environmental protection. A strong emphasis is placed on policy analysis and evaluation, ensuring participants develop data-driven decision-making skills, impact assessment techniques, and cost-benefit analysis methods. The course also covers digital transformation and smart governance, focusing on AI, big data, cybersecurity, and the future of digital public services.
As sustainability becomes a key priority worldwide, modules on climate policy, green economy, and social policy explore carbon trading, circular economy models, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and inclusive growth strategies. Further, participants will gain insights into economic policy and globalization, crisis management and resilience planning, and leadership and ethics in policymaking. The program concludes with a forward-looking perspective on the future of public policy and global challenges, including AI in policymaking, sustainable finance, and the impact of geopolitical shifts. With industry case studies and hands-on learning, this diploma prepares professionals to drive meaningful policy change and foster sustainable development at local, national, and global levels.
