Master in Public management

Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań offers a master's program in Public management, taught in English over 2 years, with yearly tuition of 7000 PLN. Known as the Public Governance major, the program provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to find employment in state administration bodies, institutions involved in local social activities such as NGOs, local government entities, and business institutions and enterprises. Alongside general and professional competence in governance, public institutions, administration, European law and human rights, the program includes supplementary courses designed to boost its practical value, such as a module of soft and social skills, practical tasks completed within the Future Changemakers summer school, classes in English for Specific Purposes, and modern teaching methods including teaching games and e-learning or b-learning approaches. Students also take part in a job placements program run by the Faculty of Political science. Public management as a field prepares graduates to work at the intersection of government, civil society and business, applying skills in policy analysis, administration, and organizational leadership to public-sector and nonprofit settings. Coursework in programs of this kind typically covers public administration theory, European and human rights law, public finance, and governance structures, alongside practical skills such as negotiation, project coordination and communication. Graduates commonly pursue careers in government agencies, international organizations, NGOs, or the public affairs and government relations departments of private companies, where a background bridging administration, law and social policy is valuable in a two-year, English-taught master's program based in Poznań.
