Programme

The Master of Business Administration in Public Governance and Management is an internationally oriented program with a strong focus on good governance practices of institutions operating in national and international frameworks.

The shift from hierarchic government practices to cooperative and collaborative governance procedures and the recent changes of the political, social and economic conditions for public management and public administration require political actors to conduct processes of change and development in a systematic and responsible way, and to apply principles of good governance to their work within different regions and organizations.

The MBA Program is offered in modular format and extends over 18 months. Each module consists of a core-module and a pre- and post-module period. Depending on the availability of lecturers, core modules can be blocked or extended over several weeks. The entire MBA program comprises 4 terms, the fourth being reserved for writing the master thesis.

The program is mainly targeted at people with professional experience. These may include:

Mid-career civil servants
Teaching staff of civil service colleges and universities
Staff of consultant firms
