The Postgraduate Diploma in Public Policy qualification provides either postgraduate study for those who have studied disciplines at undergraduate level which offer a good base for policy studies (politics, sociology, law, geography, finance, economics and pure science subjects) and now see their future in the broad policy community, or those who already work within the public or not for profit sectors and wish to enhance their career prospects.
Graduates of the Postgraduate Diploma in Public Policy have successfully pursued careers in the public and voluntary sectors as managers and policy analysts.
Conducting postgraduate work fosters many vital skills and may give you a head start in the job market. Studying at this level allows you to develop qualities of self-discipline and self-motivation that are essential to employment in a wide range of different fields.
A postgraduate degree from an institution such as The University of Nottingham shows potential employers that you are an intelligent, hard-working individual who is bright and flexible enough to undertake any form of specific career training.
