Master's Degree in Public Management and Institutional Leadership

The online Master's Degree in Public Management and Institutional Leadership is an official Master's Degree -recognised by the Ministry of Education- offered by the Department of Political Science and Administration of the Universidade de Vigo since 2011. If the Degree in Public Management and Administration has been a pioneer, at Spanish level, in the introduction of public management studies in regulated university education, with the online Master in Public Management and Institutional Leadership we aim to provide advanced training in this field, of a multidisciplinary nature that enables students, either to continue with the doctoral programme, or to achieve an optimal level of specialisation that allows them to carry out advisory and consultancy activities.

The teaching is given by prestigious lecturers, PhDs from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universidad Carlos III, Universidad Complutense, Universidade do Minho (Portugal), Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil), Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and Universidade de Vigo. One of the main strengths of the Master is its online teaching modality, allowing maximum time flexibility and adaptation to the working circumstances of the students.

Why this Master?

In public administrations we need executives and managers who are true leaders, who administer and manage efficiently, and who at the same time have a clear "vision" of the organisation, face problems under a rational strategy, adopt a personal commitment to their workers and are participative leaders who stimulate teamwork.

If the Degree in Public Management has been a pioneer, at a national level, in the introduction of public management studies in regulated university education, with the online Master's Degree in Public Management and Institutional Leadership we aim to provide advanced training in this field, a multidisciplinary training that enables students to either continue with the doctoral programme or to achieve an optimal level of specialisation that allows them to carry out management activities in the public sector or advisory and consultancy work in the public-private sphere.
