Executive Master of Public and Non-Profit

Content

The Executive Master of Public and Non-Profit Management lasts 18 months and consists of three themes divided into modules. At the end of the program, you write a Master's thesis. Within each theme, we alternate professional knowledge with coaching and workshops. The MPM master's program is inspired by Mark Moore's Public Value model.

The beginning of each module consists of four weeks of online learning. This preparation is followed by three days of interactive meetings and lectures. The study load of this part-time MPM Master’s program is 12-15 hours a week.
