Public Administration and Community Development Bachelor

The Bachelor’s in Public Administration and Community Development is an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree designed for students who are interested in public service, governance, and strengthening communities. The programme combines the study of public administration with community development principles, preparing graduates to work in government, non-profit organisations, and community-focused institutions.

Students explore key areas such as public policy, public sector management, local and regional governance, community planning, leadership, social equity, and organisational behaviour. The curriculum emphasises how public institutions and community organisations function, and how policies and programmes can be developed and implemented to address social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Throughout the degree, students develop essential transferable skills including communication, research, problem-solving, project management, and ethical decision-making. Learning is delivered through lectures, seminars, case studies, group projects, and applied learning activities that encourage critical thinking and practical understanding.

Graduates of the Public Administration and Community Development Bachelor’s programme are well prepared for careers in public service, community development, policy support, programme coordination, and non-profit management. The degree also provides a strong foundation for postgraduate study in public administration, public policy, community development, or related fields.
