Meet Talisha – Master of Public Policy
After working as a volunteer, Talisha Ohanessian wanted to help address the structural problems and systems that can disadvantage people in need. That’s where her Master of Public Policy comes in.
“RMIT seemed quite inclusive, and the Master of Public Policy seemed to build upon a real social policy or sociology foundation. This was really important to me because I think understanding the systemic causes underlying an issue is imperative to effective policy – rather than taking the easy option of an easily-digestible quick fix.”
Meet Daniel – Youth Work and Youth Studies

He chose RMIT for its progressive reputation. "I wanted to immerse myself in a university that would not only teach me how to be a good youth worker, but also how to adapt to changes within the field."
