Public Administration
Master
How can governments take action to combat climate change and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals? How can governments ensure the protection of data security and privacy rights of citizens? And what does it take to keep healthcare affordable and available for all citizens? If you are fascinated by the role governments and public organisations play in tackling the grand challenges of our society today, the Master's in Public Administration is right for you. You will learn how to address challenges within the public sector in today’s technologically transforming world. You can develop your profile in a domain of your choice: public safety, sustainability, healthcare, public affairs, or the Dutch government.
Because of an ageing workforce and the rise of new (digital) challenges, the demand for skilled professionals within the public domain will continue to grow. That’s why you can look forward to great career prospects as a policymaker, policy adviser, lobbyist, or researcher.
