UWA was the only university to offer a course that allowed me to study both Policy and Education within one Masters course. I chose a Master of Studies as it gave me the flexibility to study across disciplines I believe that in this complex world the kind of thinking that will be needed to solve problems will be interdisciplinary and I love that my course sets me up for this kind of world. In my course I can study both a breath of units relating to Public Policy whilst still focusing on my passion, Education.

I have loved the class discussions in our seminars - I really feel academically engaged in the learning process. The lecturers are so knowledgeable and also the mix of world and life experience of my classmates has created a real depth of analysis and discussion.
