The programme prepares the graduates to work in the private, public or third sector in tasks that involve analysing, planning, and steering complex change processes.

The administrative science specialisation provides students with sound academic skills for anticipating, analysing, and responding to the complex, dynamic challenges facing contemporary public sector organisations and institutions.
