Annotation
The Master of Public Service Innovation degree course teaches in-depth and interdisciplinary skills for the design, management and implementation of digital and organisational transformation processes in public administration. The degree course combines content from public management, administration studies, administrative information systems as well as digital technologies and modern management approaches. In a letter dated 22 May 2026, the Ministry of the Interior confirmed that the career-integrated Master Public Service Innovation (MSc) degree course is generally recognised as suitable for the second entry level of career track group 2 in the field of General Administration, with a specialisation in Digital Administration.
The postgraduate programme enables students to systematically analyse complex change processes, develop innovative solutions and provide long-term support for their implementation. Both strategic and operational skills are acquired for the design of modern, task- and people-oriented administrative structures. The degree course thus lays the technical and methodological fundamentals for demanding tasks in the context of the digital transformation of public organisations.
