Aiming to impart knowledge and training of competencies with regard to measured and efficient problem solving in public institutions, this master programme addresses young (future) executives who aspire a career in public administration, associations, politics or other organizations, in which complex decision making is taking place. As a general rule, this programme aims at students with a first B.A. Degree in economics, philosophy, political science or a degree in law.

The M.A. does not qualify for a certain career position, it rather aims at the procurement of skills and competences which are applicable to several different occupational fields. Versatileness, flexibility, analytical thinking and communicative competence is above all in demand in organization, politics and alliances, in economical and financial companies, consulting, human resources, but also in the media (for instance science journalism) or in the cultural sector.
