Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen

The Nijmegen School of Management (NSM) is an academic centre of research and higher education, focusing on institutional and managerial issues within complex organisations. There are seven disciplines within NSM: Business Administration, Public Administration, Political Science, Economics and Business Economics, Social and Political Sciences of the Environment, Human Geography, and Spatial Planning. NSM strives for a multidisciplinary approach. 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 Department of Public Administration is a vibrant group of junior and senior members. The department stimulates and values team science. Collegial relations are excellent and there is an attractive distribution of teaching and research tasks (60%-40% respectively). Research covers themes such as policy analysis, public management, organisational analysis, accountability, comparative public governance, integrity, co-production, Europeanisation, public service delivery, intergovernmental cooperation, and good governance at the local, regional and national levels. The department is responsible for the development and quality of the Bachelor's and Master's courses in Public Administration, as well as for courses in the faculty's other educational programmes. The distinguishing mark of our Public Administration curriculum is that students learn to draw on theory and knowledge from constituting disciplines to contribute 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 covered from a comparative perspective.
