What is management of the public sector or NGO management?

The Master of Public Administration program was designed to fill a significant gap in education regarding effective leadership and management of public services, existent on the Romanian market. Governments across the world are faced with numerous challenges, in an ever changing environment, with multiple stakeholders demanding more value for money. A competent human resource is essential for coping and developing services that respond to these circumstances. The MPA program is our response to this.

The program is structured into two main specializations:

- Management of Public Services and NGO Management

- Community Development, Urban Planning and Economic Governance

The first year of the program consist of a common set of courses aimed at offering the specific knowledge background for the public and non profit sector, while the second year courses are designed to respond to the specific needs of the two areas of specialization.
