About this program

A 12 credit point graduate certificate that pairs public policy with data skills, covering policy analysis alongside data handling, visualisation and evidence use for decision-making. It sits within UC's policy and governance offering and articulates into related graduate diploma and master's study. Entry is open to graduates and to people working in government or research. It suits policy and program staff who want to work more confidently with data, or a short qualification before a fuller policy master's.
