The Bachelor's program in Global Management of Social Issues integrates knowledge from three academic fields in the social sciences: human resource studies, organization studies, and sociology, from a cross-cultural and international comparative perspective. You will learn to approach complex societal challenges in an international context from an organizational and management perspective (‘Organizing for Wicked Problems'). You will for example learn how to run projects and to compose teams of experts that work on complex social issues also called ‘wicked problems’.

  • The first year is an interdisciplinary year, in which you gain insights into three different disciplines within the social sciences: human resource studies, organization studies, and sociology. These first-year disciplines will help you develop an initial understanding of the backgrounds, nature and causes of wicked problems. Think about subjects such as poverty, migration, climate change, or humanitarian interventions after a natural disaster.
  • From the second year on, you will increase your knowledge of and insights in theories dealing with complex societal and organizational problems in general and wicked problems in particular.
  • The main goal of the third year is the practical integration of the acquired knowledge and insights. You can accomplish this through an internship at an organization in an international context in or outside the Netherlands, through a project that deals with wicked problems, by taking additional minor courses, or by studying your minor abroad. You will finish your program with a Bachelor’s thesis.
