Introduction
The Executive Graduate Diploma in Public Administration (EDPA) is a postgraduate diploma awarded by the National University of Singapore (NUS). The EDPA is customised and designed for organisations interested in sending their mid-career executives through a rigorous renewal programme. The EDPA is a part-time programme that can be offered over a period of 12 to 24 months, with short intensive periods of study so that officials need not take long leaves of absence from work.
The goals of the EDPA are to:
(i) Enhance the effectiveness of candidates in handling complex multi-dimensional policy issues; (ii) Develop in candidates a greater appreciation for, and capacity in policy analysis and public administration while addressing organisational and budgetary challenges; (iii) Provide candidates with the necessary tools to develop their leadership potential.
