Department Department of Public Administration and Sociology (DPAS) DPAS encompasses the disciplines Public Administration and Sociology: two related scientific fields each with a unique profile. Public Administration studies governance capacity and policy interventions. It focuses on institutional power to organize and intervene in the relations between different social, political and economic actors. Public Administration in Rotterdam goes far beyond the public realm to also pay attention to public-private cooperation and the networks of organizations. Sociology investigates the social structures of societies and the way these evolve. Sociologists in Rotterdam focus, inter alia, on processes of globalization and individualization, and the effects of these processes on international social relations, the labor market and family relations. Social issues that are studied under this banner include migration, flexibilization and solidarity. The perspectives of Public Administration and Sociology complement each other. Together they guarantee a highly relevant and scientific approach to topical administrative and social issues. The bachelor- and master programs of DPAS are built on this profile and develop students into scientifically schooled professionals. Team Policy, Politics and Society (PPS) The Policy, Politics and Society (PPS) team is an interdisciplinary team conducting research and teaching on various complex policy topics. Working according to the principles of ‘team science’, we aim to provide a stimulating and creative environment for academic development. In addition to academic impact, we also attach great importance to societal impact and engagement, especially towards communities, governments and organisations. The team brings diverse expertise in institutional change, wellbeing and inclusion, European and global policy, resilient cities, e-governance, and migration and diversity.
