    Vor dem Studium

    Sie sind in der Verwaltung oder in einem internationalen Umfeld tätig und möchten Ihr berufliches Portfolio entscheidend erweitern. "Think global" ist für Sie kein Schlagwort, sondern entspricht Ihrem Mindset. Sie sind fähig, Entwicklungen in einen größeren Kontext zu setzen und mehrdimensionale Zusammenhänge zu erkennen. Komplexität flößt Ihnen keine Furcht ein, sondern animiert Sie vielmehr, Strukturen und Potenziale freizulegen um gute Lösungen zu erreichen. In jedem Fall geht es Ihnen darum, gesellschaftliche Verantwortung mitzutragen, administrative Prozesse und Entscheidungen noch zu professionalisieren.

    Im Studium

    Als qualifizierter* Berufstätiger* in internationalen und kommunalen Organisationen erhalten Sie in diesem englischsprachigen Programm eine fundierte akademische Weiterbildung mit umfangreichem Know-how im Führungs- und Managementbereich.

    Wir berücksichtigen Ihre spezifischen Bedürfnisse, indem wir zwei Spezialisierungen anbieten: International Affairs und Urban Policy. Sie lernen Managementinstrumente kennen, die Sie dabei unterstützen, konkrete Probleme in internationalen Angelegenheiten und in der Stadtpolitik zu meistern und erarbeiten Handlungsanleitungen für nachhaltige Lösungen im urbanen, aber auch im internationalen Umfeld.

    Ihre Berufserfahrung verbinden Sie mit profundem wissenschaftlichen Know-how und nützen die Nähe zur aktuellen Forschung in den Applied Political Sciences. Im Studium bearbeiten Sie aktuelle Themen und Fragestellungen aus ihrer eigenen Berufspraxis. Im regen Austausch mit Ihren Studienkolleg*innen und Vortragenden bauen Sie sich ein Netzwerk auf, in dem das neueste Wissen zirkuliert. Die Stadt Wien unterstützt dieses Netzwerk aktiv.

    Zahlreiche Lehrende kommen als Top-Expert*innen mit Führungsverantwortung aus der öffentlichen Verwaltung oder von renommierten Universitäten. Sie bringen aktuelle Themen aus ihrer erfolgreichen Berufspraxis ein. Für Praxisnähe und vertiefenden Austausch stehen unsere Kamingespräche, zu denen wir Sie einladen.

    Das Studium schließen Sie mit einem international anerkannten Master of Arts (Continuing Education) ab.

    Das Masterprogramm profitiert von seiner engen Kooperation mit der Stadt Wien. Mit ihrer politisch-administrativen Erfahrung in der Daseinsvorsorge und im City Management stellt Wien ein role model für viele Metropolen und Ballungsräume dar und ist wichtige Wissensträgerin.

    Wir legen großes Augenmerk darauf, Ihnen interkulturelles Wissen ebenso wie digitale Kompetenzen, insbesondere in den Bereichen E-Governance und E-Diplomacy, zu vermitteln. Dies nützt Ihnen in der City-Diplomacy (Städte-Diplomatie) als internationalem Instrument der lokalen urbanen Verwaltung, mit dem Ziel, ein prosperierendes und nachhaltiges Umfeld zu schaffen.

    Das Studium eröffnet Ihnen neue Perspektiven für europäische bzw. internationale Governance und für die Vernetzung von regionalen und internationalen Institutionen, etwa durch eine Studienreise zu EU-Institutionen in Brüssel und zu internationalen Organisationen in Wien.

    Sie möchten Ihre Berufserfahrung erweitern? Optional können Sie ein Berufspraktikum bei einer internationalen Organisation in oder außerhalb von Wien oder bei kommunalen Abteilungen der Stadt Wien absolvieren.

    Grundlegende politik- und rechtswissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse wie Internationales Recht, Akteur*innen des internationalen Systems, International Politics etc. verknüpfen Sie mit praxisbezogenen Elementen wie Leadership, E-Diplomacy oder E-Governance um Herausforderungen in einem politischen oder politnahen Bereich zu managen. Auf dieser Basis formulieren Sie nachhaltige Lösungen für ein urbanes Umfeld, insbesondere in einem europäischen Kontext.

    Sie lernen, urbane Lebensräume politisch-administrativ zu steuern. Dies bedeutet vor allem, Handlungsfähigkeit auf Basis von kybernetischen Analyse- und Steuerungsmodellen zu erlangen.

    Um Fragen der öffentlichen Ordnung zu analysieren, zu bewerten und mit einer Vielzahl an politischen Entscheidungsträger*innen und Interessensvertretungen kreative Lösungen für die Ballungsräume zu entwerfen, entwickeln sie Ihre Problemlösungskapazitäten weiter.
