Department of Public Management
The foundation of the Department of Public Management at Hochschule Harz in October 1998 established a Teaching and Research Centre for the public sector in Halberstadt, which is unique in the whole of Germany. When teaching began in the 1998/1999 Winter Semester, Saxony-Anhalt was the first federal state to provide, and hence externalize, training for a career in the upper grade of the civil service in a separate department at a general university. The Department of Public Management now offers four degree programmes, which meet a broad range of present and future requirements for modern and citizen-friendly administration:
Bachelor's Degree Programme
- Administrative Economics (B.A.)
- Administrative Management/ eGovernment (B.A.)
- European Adminstrative Management (B.A.)
- Public Administration (B.A.)
The four degree programmes mentioned were converted to the Bachelor's model on the occasion of the 10th birthday of the Department of Public Management, i.e. for Winter Semester 2008/2009. The new Bachelor's degrees are seven-semester programmes and include a major practical component of at least nine months' duration. Since October 2008, all degree programmes have been accredited.
In addition to the Bachelor's degree, both "Public Administration" and "Administrative Economics" degree programmes provide a qualification for entry into the upper grade of the civil service.
An extra-occupational Master's degree programme in "Public Management" is planned for winter semester 2010/2011.
