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 Freya – Social Science (Psychology)
