Public Decision Making in Practice

The course builds on reality-based cases that students from several degree programmes with different theoretical background solve together. The case allows students to apply theory in practice, thus bridging the gap between theory and practice by making theories comprehensible through practical application. Students also work on an investigation/evaluation and acquire experience of the civil servant role. The course is offered in conjunction with a public sector actor, allowing the students to develop skills in communicating theoretical knowledge to external partners and test their arguments in the field. Lectures and seminars alternate with practical field work.
