The Nijmegen School of Management (NSM) is an academic centre of research and higher education, focusing on institutional and managerial issues within complex organizations in both the public and private domain. 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 multi-disciplinary approach whenever possible. Altogether, the NSM employs 280 FTE of whom 75% are academics.
Both Bachelor's and Master's degrees are organised in the NSM's educational institute. The educational programme is characterised by small-scale teaching and provides a stimulating learning environment with an emphasis on the development of academic skills. The NSM has about 4,800 students. The NSM's research activities fall under the responsibility of the interdisciplinary Institute for Management Research (IMR). Under the motto 'Responsible governance for sustainable societies', 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 Department of Public Administration at the NSM offers programmes with a classic, generalist public administration core. They challenge students to analyse problems and issues concerning government and governance, public policy and public sector management in an academically responsible manner. The programmes recognise the Dutch public sector's need for generalists with a thorough training in academic skills, and aim to meet this need 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 within the Faculty. What distinguishes the Nijmegen curriculum is that students learn to draw on theory and knowledge from constituent disciplines, and to apply these 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 within a comparative perspective.
The Chair of Public Administration covers the broad field of public administration, with an emphasis on governance, accountability and control in the setting of inter-organisational and intergovernmental relations and networks. There is a strong focus on theory-driven research using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Specific research themes of the Chair include: policy analysis, comparative public governance, dynamics in public governance, Europeanisation, public service provision, intergovernmental cooperation, and good governance at the local, regional and national levels.
