Public Administration

The Public Administration programme deals with the way national and local governments manage their obligations and tasks towards the citizens.

It is an interdisciplinary programme that works in the fields of politics, globalisation and international political economy.

You will study the implications that the changes in the economic and political global order can have on the local socio-economic structures as well as the cultural, economic, social and political differences that characterise the world today.

Job opportunities will be in for example administration, teaching or development in international companies and organisations.

Teaching varies between courses and project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

The final semester you will be writing your MSc thesis.
