Public Administration program aims to help students to understand the content of contemporary public administration and to develop critical thinking about the provision of public goods and services. The program focuses on the laws, structures, beliefs, cultures, historical processes and practices which are influential for the emergence of national and international bureaucratic formations. Thus, the program analyses and assesses different administrative structures in various political systems.
General Information
The main aim of the Public Administration Undergraduate Program is to provide information regarding all the sub-branches of the science of public administration and, at the same time, equip them with the general principles of Public Administration. For this reason, the program offers common courses with other departments and programs of the Faculty during the first and the second year. Along with these courses, students are provided with the opportunity of taking elective courses from other faculties. In general a semester is evaluated on the basis of homework, quizzes, a mid-term, and a final examination. During the third and the final year, there are projects focusing both on theory and application which develop students’ analysis and problem solution skills. During the second phase of the program, the possibility of choosing area electives from other departments within the Faculty enables the students to improve their knowledge in the relevant fields.
