Programme profile

Are you eager to tackle social challenges in which technology plays a key role? Think of immigration and the responsible use of identification technology. Or using wearable tech and Big Data to promote public health. In this Bachelor's programme in 21st-century public administration, you will learn to develop innovative improvements for a society increasingly bound up with technology.

When your parents got their first mobile phone, it wasn’t much more than a curious add-on to their lives. Today, we use our smart phones 24/7 and digital technologies are increasingly interwoven with everything we do. Do you want to gain a clear understanding of today’s technologies and use it for the good of society? Then this is the programme for you.

Programme content

In this programme, you integrate the core subjects of public administration with profound knowledge of modern technologies and their effects on society. You learn how to do state-of-the-art research, such as model analysis, advanced statistics and data science.

In the first three semesters, you will follow the core of Management, Society and Technology:

- Data Security
- the Challenge of Mass Migration

- Smart (and livable) Cities
