Study Programme

Governance students

Below, you will find the courses of the Master's programme Organising Social Impact. Please note: The course offering is revised yearly. This overview is therefore subject to changes.

In our international classroom, students draw from different disciplines to unpack grand challenges and understand how civil society tackles them.

Academic and Professional skills courses

During the first semester, you are offered an Academic and Professional skills programme by professionals who coach and train you. Thus, during your studies you will learn to act professionally in an organisational context on the basis of real-life cases. The issues you advise on are introduced by stakeholders from private, public or grassroots organisations. Through role plays and simulations, you practice skills, explore behaviour and learn to act accordingly. In addition, you work on your personal development regarding the question ‘what does work mean for me now and in the future’ and learn to make conscious choices. Alumni consider this knowledge and experience to be of great added value when making the transition to a suitable career and functioning as a professional.
