This track focuses both on the policy process and the substance of public policy. A policy process focus would examine how both private and public interests are represented in the governmental policymaking process. Two of the most important means of representing such interests are via direct lobbying of elected and appointed governmental officials and through the communication of ideas and proposals in various forms of media.

Programme

  • Every student of Public Adminstration takes five core courses (25 ECTS). Those courses constitute a firm base on which the specialisation builds further.
  • In addition to these core courses students take three specialisation courses (15 ECTS).
  • Students conduct original research on a topic of their choice within their track and present their results in a thesis (20 ECTS).
