Unit Description

All government agencies require public officials with high-level writing, communication and consultation skills, all of which are integral for developing effective policy and conducting policy research.

This unit will help you develop and hone your verbal and written communication skills while you cultivate a foundational understanding of the governmental policy cycle and the wider policy issues associated with government work, particularly within social justice environments.

Similarly, you will have the opportunity to build knowledge of theories and types of corruption, the psychology and sociology of ethical judgement, and the ethics of public sector work.
