\nObjectives of the Helmut-Schmidt-Programme<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\nThe Helmut-Schmidt-Programme is designed to further qualify future leaders in politics, law, economics and administration according to the principles of Good Governance and to prepare them in a praxis-oriented course for their professional life. Very good graduates with a first university degree get the chance to obtain a master\u2019s degree in disciplines that are of special relevance to the social, political and economic development of their home country. The knowledge and experience acquired in Germany should enable the scholarship holders to later contribute to the establishment of democratically oriented economic and social systems aimed at overcoming social differences. In addition, the training at German institutions of higher education should qualify the scholarship holders to become partners in the political and economic co-operation with Germany. With this programme, DAAD<\/a> intends to contribute to the support of good governance and civil society structures in selected partner countries and regions<\/a>. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nAs one of only eight institutions of higher learning in Germany, the University of Passau and its study programme in Governance and Public Policy (M.A.) has been a proud member of the Helmut-Schmidt-Programme network since 2010.
\nThe study programme Governance and Public Policy (M.A.)<\/a> has a two-year-curriculum. In their first term, students will get acquainted with the foundations of governance research as well as with the basics of statehood and Good Governance in order to provide a theoretical framework in which the following interdisciplinary classes are embedded. In these Master classes, students will focus on topics from areas of Comparative Politics\/Public Policy, Global Governance, European Integration, Recent European History, European and International Law as well as Political Institutions and Social Transformation. This curriculum is complemented by various classes to enhance the students\u2019 occupational skills, e. g. courses on methods in the social sciences, presentation techniques, and paper writing.<\/div>\n
\nAlthough, the M.A. Governance and Public Policy is officially announced as a bilingual programme, Helmut-Schmidt-Programme scholarship holders are given the opportunity to study the whole scheme in the English language.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
