De researchmaster Political Science and Public Administration is een unieke tweejarige opleiding voor studenten die meer uit hun studie willen halen. De opleiding is een grondige opleiding van hoog academisch niveau, die een goede voorbereiding biedt op een toekomstige carrière op veel verschillende werkterreinen. Het programma heeft een sterke focus op de ontwikkeling van vaardigheden voor het doen van zelfstandig onderzoek.
The programme distinguishes between four types of courses: substantive courses, methodological courses, advanced research seminars and finally thesis preparation in the Thesis Laboratory.
The programme features a selection of two specialisations: Political Science or Public Administration. While each course or seminar within the specialisations deals with a specific topic or field of research, the programme grants you considerable freedom to pursue your own specific interests. Regardless of the choice of specialisation, you will attend several courses on the philosophy of science and courses on both qualitative and quantitative methods of research. In addition, there are specific courses aimed to enhance skills such as presentation and reporting.
The end product of the programme is a thesis meeting the criteria for publication in a scholarly journal, as well as a proposal for further research that conforms to the standard criteria of funding agencies.
