Welcome to Politics and Public Policy

Among the first disciplines established at Flinders in the late 1960s staff built the reputation of political studies at Flinders as among the most respected in the nation. Commitment to excellence in teaching and curriculum development, preparedness to comment in the media on political events and contributing to the professional advancement of Australian political science are all hallmarks of the discipline’s contribution.

The Flinders Institute of Public Policy and Management conducts research and consultancies and is associated with the Australian and New Zealand School of government.

The degree programs we offer range from undergraduate to postgraduate and are taught by staff deeply committed to assisting students gain the most from their University experience and, moreover, in the friendly and unpretentious environment that defines study at Flinders University.
