A BSc in Public Administration is an undergraduate degree program that focuses on the study of the principles and practices of public sector management and administration. The program is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of the political, legal, and social context of public administration and the skills and knowledge necessary for effective management and leadership in the public sector.

Throughout the program, students will develop practical skills that are essential for success in the public sector, including critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and project management. Many programs also provide opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience through internships or other practical learning experiences.

A BSc in Public Administration can prepare students for a variety of careers in the public sector, including roles in government agencies, non-profit organisations, and international organisations. Graduates may work in areas such as public policy analysis, program management, budget analysis, or human resources management.
