This is equally true for different types of organisations – e.g. public, profit-making and non-profit, small and larger organisations – all of which will be dealt with in the various courses of the Master’s programme. Emphasis is put on the dynamic and complex context in which organisations have to operate. The MSc in Organisation Studies is closely linked to the research programme of the department of Organisation Studies which focuses on the study of relations within and between organisations and their outcomes. Programme The Master’s programme is a one-year full-time programme, starting at the end of August. in the first semester, you take 6 courses.
