Public Management

The degree programme is geared towards sustainable future shaping of the public sector as well as accelerated change processes. The focus areas of social-ecological and digital transformation in and with the transformation in and with the public sector. In teaching, we emphasise the development of action competence and learning and experiencing the importance and management of actor networks in close cooperation with practice.  As an interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree programme, Public Management (PuMa) includes elements of economics, social sciences, political science and law. More detailed information on this degree course is available on the website of the Faculty of Economics.

The degree programme trains students for management tasks in the public sector - and thus for the largest employer in the Federal Republic of Germany. Graduates are well prepared for senior management functions in organisations in the public and non-profit sectors. The spectrum ranges from operational functions (e.g. service provision processes, marketing and customer care) and financially oriented functions (budgeting and accounting, financing) to communication functions (information management, process management) and control functions (e.g. controlling, investment management, project management) to strategic functions. Graduates benefit from the job security of public organisations and their flexible working time models.
