The Hertie School of Governance Program is open to students with an exceptionally strong degree (or equivalent) in economics, law, political science, sociology, public administration, management, or related fields.
With a degree obtained in Governance, students are at the cutting edge of social science knowledge in a field that has emerged as one of the most important and dynamic fields of inquiry. It brings together perspectives from economics, political science, law, and sociology, and requires excellence in qualitative and quantitative methodologies. It is problem-oriented, both in a theoretical as well as practical sense. Above all, the field of governance is inherently comparative, international, and policy-oriented.
Eligibility:
- The programme is designed for students with a desire to understand fundamental problems and patterns of governance at the highest level of academic research.
- Candidates should have a very strong foundation in one of the disciplines represented at the Hertie School of Governance – economics, law, political science, sociology as well as public administration/management and related fields.
- They should be open to interdisciplinary research and comparative perspectives, as governance and public policy issues typically transcend the boundaries of academic disciplines.
