ABOUT
CRAWFORD SCHOOL

Asia & The Pacific Policy Studies

Crawford School of Public Policy is in the College of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University - Australia's leading university.

The School's approach to policy draws on the complementarity between, on one hand, disciplinary excellence in the core areas of economics, governance, environment and development and, on the other, deep country and region specific knowledge of Asia and the Pacific, including Australia.

The School is founded on the belief that powerful academic and social outcomes can be achieved when research and education are combined, when talented domestic and international students are brought together - in both coursework degrees and short-course executive programs - and when scholars and professional staff have direct incentives to maximise productivity in pursuit of a shared institutional mission.

This creates a dynamic environment where professional staff, scholars, students, and the wider community can combine to consider and address significant policy questions and challenges that confront Australia, the Asia Pacific region, and the world.

The School offers an array of professional graduate diploma and master programs for individuals pursuing careers with governments and other organisations and professional development programs tailored for particular organisations and client needs, in public policy, economics, political science and environmental management. Our area expertise covers Pacific Island countries and Asia (particularly China, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam and Korea).
