Executive Master in Public Governance & Leadership

"Waar de meerwaarde zeker zit, is dat je masterproef eigenlijk een consultancy opdracht is. Een consultancy opdracht laten uitvoeren, is voor het onderwijs een dure zaak. Als je dit kan combineren met én iemand laten leren via opleiding én een opdracht laten uitwerken die de organisatie ten goede komt, dan heb je een win-win waar je als organisatie moeilijk nee tegen kan zeggen."

— John Caron, Directie Leiepoort campus Sint-Hendrik

"Practical experience is crucial to start this training because then you can apply it directly"

— Lore Baeyens - Alumnae '21

"I chose AMS because I was mainly looking for an education that was also focused on the practical aspect."

— Nathalie Mortelmans - Alumnae '21

"The number of subject areas and tools provided is very broad. The evaluations are all thorough elaborations of scientific insights in real case studies and applications from the work place. Simply memorising some concepts won't get you there and that's precisely why so much more of it sticks: your mindset as a public servant or manager really does change."

— Erwin Van San, Alumnus

"During two fascinating years, I stepped out of my own comfort zone and was given new frameworks, supported by scientific research. All this combined with insightful experience exchanges with colleagues from the same field. Delightful!"

— Dries Janssens, Director of Dual Learning and Entrepreneurship programmes, SYNTRA

"The Master in Public Management programme vastly broadened my view of the public sector. As a primary school director, I have learnt a lot about financial management, law and strategic management. Furthermore, the contact with fellow students is very enriching to look critically at one's own organisation!"

— Wim Van Nieuwenhuize, Headmaster KBO Levensblij
