In brief: The CAS ETH in Public Governance and Administration
The programme provides the necessary competencies to tackle complex governance challenges.
Structure and content
Programme description
Regardless of which geographical region or which policy area you are working in, you need the ability to dissect multidimensional policy issues, the tools to lead outside your area of expertise and a vision for governance in an age of interconnectivity and technological disruption. The CAS ETH in Public Governance and Administration (CAS ETH PGA) is a certificate programme designed for aspiring public sector leaders to enhance their knowledge, skills and confidence across these three critical dimensions.
Objectives
Participants will learn to understand key governance frameworks and problems, dissect multi-dimensional policy issues and effectively lead across the spectrum of technical, human, and conceptual challenges.
Professional perspectives
Structure and format
- One 15-day block
- 64 hours individual preparation and exercises, 128 contact hours, 175 hours individual CAS thesis writing
Additional information
The programme encompasses a sequence of one or half-day modules, which are clustered around three interdisciplinary learning blocks: contemporary governance, public management and policy domains. Through the analysis of best-practice cases, competency-based learning experiences, simulations, peer-to-peer learning and group discussions, participants are provided with the tools to translate innovative solutions into their own political and administrative context. Additionally, throughout the two weeks, the participants will be working on a group assignment that allows them to synthesise the various course inputs into a coherent analysis. After the 15 days in Zurich, participants will integrate their learning into their own institutions with an interdisciplinary thesis. This academic paper can cover any topic related to the course.
Full scholarships are available for this programme. For more information, please refer to the following website.
