Recent problems have shown that the way many countries make their policies has some issues. This is especially true in Ireland. These issues are partly because the people in charge of making policies aren't always good at figuring out and carrying out these policies, especially in complicated and changing situations.
The Irish government, the European Union and other international organisations know about this problem. They're trying to get more experts in making policies to work with them.
To address this, DCU is now offering a special online course that covers different subjects and is made to help the new generation of policymakers. It's called the MSc in Public Policy, and it's a unique professional degree that focuses on both deep thinking and careful methods. This fits the needs of a society that is dealing with more complicated and nuanced challenges.
