The Department of Public Administration conducted a Stakeholder Consultation on Curriculum Review and Development on 7 April 2026 in the New Faculty Boardroom. The consultation brought together an expert panel representing both the public and private sectors, creating a platform for constructive dialogue and informed input on the proposed degree programme.
