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:
- 90 EC Core: The first six modules of the study, i.e. the first year and the first semester of the second year, 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.
- 30 EC Track: In the second semester of the second year, students choose a track for the modules 2.3 and 2.4. It is allowed to make free choices out of the four modules, to “mix & match”. The two tracks are either specializing in European Studies or Public Administration. For a more detailed overview, see OSIRIS.
- 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 www.utwente.nl/minor.
- 30 EC Finalization: The craft of Public Administration research module and the Bachelor’s Thesis MS&T module (last modules in the third year): 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.
In 2019-2020:
- the course code for Public Governance across Countries is changed from 201700106 to 201900225, due to the split of one part of the module into two parts;
- the course code for Europe in Crisis is changed from 201700107 to 201900258, due to a change in the naming of the tests and some small changes in content;
- the course code for Europe and the World is changed from 201700108 to 201900311, due to a change in the naming of the tests and small changes in content.
