In terms of professional training, this Master prepares students to take up various roles in the administration and management of public organizations, both at regional and local level as well as in bodies working in close collaboration with the public sector (e.g. political parties, trades unions and professional organizations). In addition, although the programme is not primarily aimed at the Belgian public sector, it nevertheless offers support to students wishing to prepare for certain entry examinations held by public institutions such as the government recruitment office.

Finally, this Master gives students the opportunity to develop their individual research skills. They will acquire a rigorous framework for posing questions in a field of their choice in the context of the work placement and the dissertation (professional focus).
