Description: The Melbourne School of Government aims to improve the capacity of decision-makers to build shared futures in the face of hard global challenges and public governance dilemmas.
 This means: providing politicians, public servants and citizens with sound evidence to help them consider the long-term consequences of the choices they make supporting the development of robust public institutions that are able to deliver programmes and services but also able defend the public interest, and contributing to a culture of public discussion and debate to ensure that new ideas and policy options are fully examined.

 Achieving these ambitions in a world where the challenges are complex and interconnected requires access to multi-disciplinary expertise and know-how that can offer insights into the scientific, technical, ethical and social dimensions of public problems and governance dilemmas. The Melbourne School of Government aims to do this by bringing together University experts with politicians, industry leaders and civil society organisations and creating a fertile environment where ideas, disciplinary expertise and leadership combine to generate wise and actionable solutions. 
 
 Working with colleagues from a range of disciplines including economics, development studies, international relations, law, politics and management, the new School will inspire and nurture a future generation of leaders devoted to public service and committed to improving our world. Our curriculum will be attentive to the hard global challenges and public governance dilemmas we face, will be informed by important geo-political trends such as the rise of Asia, and will equip our graduates with the necessary tools and skills to turn ideas into practical action.
