Nature and structure of the programme
The Bachelor’s in Management, Society and Technology, Dutch croho 56654, is a fulltime programme in the field of Public Administration. It consists of the following components:
A ‘major’ of 150 EC comprising:
- 120 EC Core: The first tow years of the study are considered the ‘core’ of the programme. After this core the student has gained a basic understanding of the main fields of Management, Society and Technology.
- A ‘minor’ of 30 EC: In the first semester of the third year, students can either go abroad for an exchange, do an internship abroad or in the Netherlands, or choose a minor of their choice. More information about minors can be found at utwente.nl/minor.
- 30 EC Finalization: The Thesis semester. Students prepare and carry out their Bachelor’s thesis project and write a thesis in preparation for graduation. They gain more knowledge about the work field and their prospective future.
In collaboration with the Universität Münster, we offer a joint degree specialization “Public Governance across borders”. This specialization consists of first year courses in Münster, and second and third year courses in Twente. For the second and third year of this joint degree specialization the rules and regulations are the same as for the 180 EC Twente bachelor’s programme. For the first year the rules and regulations of the Münster programme have to be met.
We are in the process of changing the name of the programme: From October 2027 onwards, the bachelor programme Management, Society and Technology and the diploma's associated with it, will be officially called Public Administration. The specialisation Public Governance across Borders will be renamed to Politics and Public Policy.
