Targer group
We seek applicants who have demonstrated their interest in public sector management in the past, and who are committed to continuing to work in this area in the future.
SSPUM is designed primarily for doctoral students at the dissertation stage and junior faculty who wish to learn new skills that will assist them in conducting research projects in the public sector. Although SSPUM's main focus is on academicians, prior editions have included several practicing managers. These managers have found that SSPUM provided them with some useful conceptual frameworks for their work, and also that their real world experiences helped to enrich the classroom discussions for everyone.
Language
The program is conducted entirely in English, and requires a strong command of the language. Many classes involve discussions, with the topics shifting several times during the class. As a result, participants will need to be able to understand what is being said and make comments relatively crisply and fluidly.
Admission and fee
SSPUM’s tuition of 1,950€ covers all program-related activities, course materials, administrative support, lunches, welcome refreshments, a mid-program reception, and a dinner at the end of the first week.
Accommodations and the remaining meals are not covered.
