Graduate Certificate of Strategic Policy

Macquarie University

In today’s interconnected and fast-evolving world, strategic policy has become inseparable from defence, security and geopolitics. Governments, businesses and institutions need professionals who can interpret complex environments, anticipate risks, and contribute to decisions that shape stability and resilience at national, regional and global levels. This growing demand is driving opportunities for those with the ability to analyse, communicate and influence in the sphere of strategic policy.The Graduate Certificate of Strategic Policy will equip you with the knowledge and practical skills you need to navigate this terrain. You’ll explore how strategic policies are formulated, analysed and implemented, while engaging directly with real-world concerns through case studies, simulations and scenario planning. Guided by academics and practitioners with frontline expertise, you’ll refine your ability to contribute to informed policy-making across government, defence, policing, international relations, think tanks and the private sector – or use the qualification as a pathway into the Master of Strategy and Security.
