Prospective Students

Western industrial societies are facing major structural challenges. Globalization, demographic change and the transition from an industrial to a service and knowledge society require new solution concepts. Organizational and human resources development will play a key role in the future of companies and public institutions.

In the master's programme Organization, Governance, Education you will acquire the necessary skills to evaluate structures, actors and processes in political and economic organizations in order to develop and implement concepts of organizational and human resource development based on these findings.

Graduates are qualified for professionally demanding positions at officer and management level in organizations of all kinds, for example in the areas of

•     Continuing education
•     Organizational development
•     Intervention and evaluation
•     Moderation
•     PR and public relations
•     Project support
•     (Science) consulting
•     Education management
•     Political consulting
•     Referent activity
•     Public affairs
•     Scientific research
•     Personnel development

Through the study of relevant areas of sociology and political science as well as educational science and educational psychology, graduates will gain an understanding of the structure, functioning, tasks and interests of governmental and non-governmental organizations and their national and international social environment. Based on this, they will be able to develop concepts for development, legitimation and change processes in organizations, society, politics or education, and to guide and steer implementation processes. In doing so, they can draw on knowledge about specific requirements for educational processes and knowledge acquisition in organizations and politics, which the program conveys in a practice-oriented manner through project modules. The program provides the foundations for independent scientific research (doctorate).
