Nijmegen School of Management
The Nijmegen School of Management (NSM) is an academic centre of research and higher education, focusing on institutional and managerial issues within complex organisations in both the public and private domains. There are seven disciplines within the NSM: Business Administration, Public Administration, Political Science, Economics and Business Economics, Social and Political Sciences of the Environment, Human Geography, and Spatial Planning. The NSM strives for a multidisciplinary approach whenever possible. Altogether, the NSM employs 265 FTEs of whom 75% are academics.
Both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are organised in the NSM’s educational institute. The educational programme involves small-scale teaching and provides a stimulating learning environment with an emphasis on the development of academic skills. NSM has about 4,000 students. NSM’s research activities fall under the responsibility of the interdisciplinary Institute for Management Research (IMR). Under the motto ‘Creating Knowledge for Society’, the IMR focuses on academic research into the development, design and effectiveness of the public and private structures that regulate, govern or manage human interactions.
The Public Administration programme at Radboud University offers courses with a classic, generalist public administration core. They aim for their students to analyse problems and issues concerning government and governance, public policy and public sector management in an academically responsible manner. The programme recognises the Dutch public sector’s need for generalists with a thorough training in academic skills, and aims to address this by training multidisciplinary, academic professionals. The department is responsible for the development and quality of the Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in Public Administration, as well as for the courses in the other educational programmes provided by the faculty. What distinguishes the Nijmegen curriculum from others is that students learn to draw on theory and knowledge from constituent disciplines, applying them to problem-solving in the public interest. This multidisciplinary expertise is integrated with a focus on ethics and values in order to be able to act in the general interest in an increasingly complex world. Students are also extensively trained in research skills in order to be able to describe and explain developments in the field of public administration. Theories are offered from a comparative perspective.
