How can governments help tackle climate change? How do we protect people’s privacy and safety in a digital world? And how can we keep healthcare affordable for everyone? In this Master’s, you will learn how governments and public organisations play a key role in addressing major challenges like these. You will explore current political, social and technological issues and create your study profile based on a theme that matches your interests, such as sustainability, security, healthcare, public affairs or the Dutch government. This will make your degree both personal and future-focused.

With ageing populations, digitalisation and complex regulations, there is a growing demand for smart and socially engaged public administrators. After graduation, you will be able to work as a policy advisor, lobbyist, researcher or consultant—anywhere you want to make a real impact with your knowledge.
