The leaders of today and tomorrow face immense challenges, including climate change and energy transition, refugee crisis, transnational organized crime and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic. These are multi-level and multi-actor governance issues that require creative solutions. A comparative and cross-national and multidisciplinary approach is essential. Combine the disciplines of public administration, law and economics in our Master's program in Public Governance to become an elite strategical force, in the Netherlands or abroad.

Become part of a small-scaled, closely connected and multidisciplinary community of talented students, outstanding scholars, and eminent alumni from all over the world. 

  • Cross boundaries. Adopt a comparative, transnational perspective on public governance, to learn from other cities, regions and countries, or global and European institutions - what works, and why?
  • Put theory into practice. Gain essential experience with tackling complex societal problems by working with 'real life' clients in the Governance Clinic. Obtain expert knowledge and academic skills, but also train (soft) skills like creative  thinking, communicating and collaborating, as well as being adaptive and exercising leadership.
  • Team up. Learn to co-create innovative governance solutions with fellow students, leading experts in the field, and key stakeholders, such as citizens, non-state actors, businesses and governments.
  • Shape your portfolio. Specialize in one of four themes and become an expert in this area of governance:

- Democratic Governance and Innovation

- Justice, Security, and the Governance of Risks

- Governing the Transition to a Sustainable Society 

- Governance for Health, Education, and Welfare
