Master how to run a state 

Within the course of your study, you theorise extensively what governance means, what approaches exist, and where the concept stems from. You deal with sociology and political science alike and project your knowledge on the running of a state, community or administration. The concept of multi-level governance accompanies you throughout your degree course. Political management in all spheres of life, be they public or private, lies at the core of your analytical thinking. Political institutions, processes and structures represent steady elements within your study efforts. Moreover, you deepen your skills in statistical analysis, quantitative and qualitative studies and social research.

In order to practice governance, your curriculum contains international negotiations, communication, and conferences. Within the Master of Governance Studies it is not unlikely for you to simulate political conferences, meetings or bilateral negotiations. Naturally, you will also analyse real-life pieces of public policy.
