Aims

The Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) is a multi-State, multi-campus institution delivering its offerings at campuses of each of the partner universities.

The core Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) subjects are taught in locations across Australia and New Zealand, thus providing for interaction and learning between Australian, New Zealand, Commonwealth and State public servants.

ANZSOG will:

• provide world-class education and training to emerging public sector leaders in the substance and craft of public administration;
• deliver a flexible range of post-graduate programs that, over time, build significant new policy, research and management capability within the public sector;
• develop a research agenda and expertise that significantly strengthens governments' ability to develop and access policy relevant knowledge; and,
• through its research and teaching, encourage and support public sector innovation.

The School seeks to attract outstanding, high potential students from all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions, federal, state and local, and, in due course, from the not-for-profit community sector. Later ANZSOG will extend enrolments to include students from other countries in the region.

ANZSOG will do this by:

• bringing together a critical mass of experienced public management and public policy academics from across Australia, New Zealand and overseas;
• drawing on the expertise and experience of past and present practitioners from across Australia New Zealand and overseas;
• bringing together a critical mass of the 'best and brightest' current and emerging leaders within the public sector; and
• creating an institution that is responsive to both demand-side (government) and supply-side (university) influences, but not controlled by either.
