Public Management: The Hague University of Applied Sciences

Course Description

If you’ve got a head for solving international problems, and feel passionate about politics, then their Bachelor of International Public Management could be for you.

Structure

The Bachelor of International Public Management is a four year, full-time programme. It’s a very practical, hands-on programme, where you’ll learn by doing.

In the first two years, you’ll learn the fundamentals, developing the skills and knowledge you’ll actually need in your career. But you’ll spend quite a lot of your time actually working on team projects, solving problems drawn from real life scenarios.

In the final two years of your programme, you’ll have to apply everything you’ve learned and practiced on a work placement, or job, for a real organisation. So you’ll graduate with two years of experience already behind you. You choose your minors, your work placement and your thesis subject, so you can customize your final two years to your own ambitions and career goals.

Entrance requirements

If you have a non-Dutch diploma

Thet’ll need to assess your secondary school certificate, before they decide on your eligibility. To make sure your certificate is judged fairly, they work together with NUFFIC, an organisation specialised in comparing international qualifications.

One of the eligibility criteria is that you have at least one of the following subjects: mathematics, economics, or business studies.

English language skills

In case you do not hold an English secondary school diploma (diploma granted in a non EEA country) or you have not taken English as an exam subject (diploma granted in the EEA) prior to your enrolment for an English Bachelor programme, you must show an IELTS or TOEFL test. Contrary to what Studielink tells you, you have to register for this test yourself.

Scores

The minimum overall band score for the IELTS test (academic version) for all English Bachelor programmes is a 6.0. For the TOEFL test a minimum score of 550 (paper based version), 213 (computer based version) or 80 (internet based version) is required. An IELTS or TOEFL test is valid for two years. The test must be valid at the start of the academic year.
