The work and research of our chair aims to understand, describe, and explain how steering and management are carried out in public organizations. To this end, we study public administration organizations, their managers and specialists with management tasks. Therefore, we seek to to train the future change agents of public administration in our seminars and lectures. Public management is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements from economics, political science, law, sociology and other fields. We would like to take this diversity of content and methods into account with our curriculum.

In the Bachelor's program, we offer lectures on the fundamentals of public management as well as controlling, cost and performance accounting. These are supplemented by in-depth seminars on selected aspects of administrative modernization, such as digital transformation, but also nonprofit management.

The respective study and examination regulations apply to all bachelor's theses written at the Chair of Public and Nonprofit Management. These can be found on the University of Potsdam's website.
