pUBlIC ADMINISTRATION
Contemporary public administration takes many
forms. A wide range of partly autonomous
organizations and institutions deliver public services
and respond to public issues. Given their mutual
dependencies, they must work together to tackle
complex situations. Ensuring high-quality public
administration is therefore a constant challenge.

The Twente approach is particularly based on multi-
actor and multi-level analysis of public problems and
it is aimed at solutions that meet both functional
(effectiveness and efficiency) and procedural criteria
(rule of law, legitimacy, legality, and democracy).

If you are fascinated by the complex world of
public administration and policy, and would like to
work towards a more sustainable system of public
administration, the MSc Public Administration
programme may be just right for you.

PhD
CANDiDATEs AT
ThE UNivErsiTy
After completing your Master’s degree, you could opt
for a career in research. This involves spending four
years studying a particular research area in depth. An
integral part of this is writing your PhD thesis, and at the
end of your PhD period you will present and defend your
research in public. After successfully completing your
PhD, you will be awarded the title of doctor.
In the Netherlands, PhD candidates are generally recruited and
appointed as staff. There is no formalised admissions procedure
for PhD programmes, nor an annual deadline for admissions.
Positions are announced in the jobs section on our website
www.utwente.nl/vacancies.

However, a PhD appointment is not the only way to obtain a
doctorate. Some PhD researchers come to the Netherlands with
an international scholarship. If you have a research proposal
that matches the research aims of the University of Twente and
you have already secured the necessary funding, we would
be interested in hearing from you. If you have not yet secured
the requisite financial resources, contact us and we may be
able to help you to find appropriate funding (www.utwente.nl/
internationalstudents/scholarshipsandgrants).

Please note that ITC and University of Twente candidates have
different procedures and requirements. For specific information
please see the website of the relevant programme.
