The Master of Regulation and Governance is a unique degree that equips students and their organisations to navigate environments where complexity, risk, and transformative technologies are reshaping the ways in which we govern and regulate. Graduates from this program will be working in - or will join - government or private sector organisations charged with designing and applying regulatory policy solutions to pressing social problems, often in partnership with diverse stakeholders. Core courses provide students with a solid foundation in the concepts, institutions, processes and practices of regulation and governance. Electives and master classes taught by leading experts in their fields provide case studies, simulations and clinics for examining domains such as climate, crime, environment, health, justice, safety, technology and urban design. All the courses are interactive and ask how regulation and governance are created - and by whom and for what purpose. Course materials emphasise how to better anticipate regulatory challenges, manage risk and support equitable social outcomes. It draws on the evidence-based research and the ‘big ideas’ in regulation and governance for which academics at the ANU's School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet) are world famous. The students join RegNet's unique educational program, which emphasises interdisciplinary skills-building, our place in Asia and the Pacific, a stimulating curriculum, master classes with distinguished practitioners, global networks and multiple career pathways.


This program is available for applications to commence from Summer Session, 2026
