The University of Strasbourg offers two Master's programs focused on public service and social sector management. The Master's in Public Administration (MAP) is designed primarily for students who have completed a Bachelor's in Public Administration, preparing them for Category A civil service examinations in state, territorial, and hospital sectors. The Master's in Management of Social and Health Organizations (MO2S) aims to train managers for social and medico-social fields, focusing on risk management and strategic operational tools. Both programs are open to initial training (student status) and continuing education. Previous learning and experience can be validated. The MAP program is a one-year program, equivalent to the second year of a Master's degree (M2), comprising theoretical training in the first semester and an internship in the second. The MO2S program also typically lasts one year and is designed for students with a Master's year 1 degree (M1) or professionals seeking to move into management roles within social and health organizations.
Curriculum
The Master's programs are structured to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. The MAP program focuses on preparing students for public service entrance exams, while the MO2S program delves into management strategies for social and health organizations.
