The program gives the opportunity for specialization in the particular field of public administration, both at a theoretical and at a practical level. It provides postgraduate education to holders of a Bachelor in public administration, political science, law or of some other relevant field (International Relations, European Studies, Governance, etc.), and it mainly, but not exclusively, addresses itself to individuals who (intend to) work on fields relevant with the public administration and governance (public employees, public officials, employees of local government organizations and the wider public sector, diplomats, consular officials, security and military personnel, energy security personnel, general employees of companies and of other private sector entities or organizations, members of non-governmental organizations etc.).
It is expected that the program will provide its graduates with additional qualifications and enhance their cognitive and managerial capacities; this will help them enrich their career opportunities. Graduates of the program also have the opportunity to pursue further studies at a PhD level. The program particularly highlights special legal issues that are of great theoretical and practical importance, encouraging a comparative approach, within the contemporary international and regional context, intending to confront contemporary problems and challenges in a theoretically informed, while practically efficient, way. The program aims to provide postgraduate education and skills to conduct independent research on the relevant fields and achieve a deep understanding of the complexity of international affairs, as well as of the paramount importance of theoretical and methodological competence when dealing with them.
