Master's specialisation in Organisational Design & Development

Waarom aan de Radboud University Nijmegen?

This specialisation offers the unique combination of the design and the development of organisations. Besides addressing structural and economic factors, this specialisation also pays attention to social practices and change processes in organisations. We offer theory-and-action based learning: you'll gain advisory skills and with a strong understanding of research methodology, you'll learn to systematically analyse organisational problems, typically in close cooperation with an organisation.

Our approach to organisational design and change focuses on the role of organisations in society, their societal and economic goals, and how these can be successfully addressed in the way organisations operate internally.
We teach a multidisciplinary approach to studying organisations with respect to their internal processes as well as their interaction with their environment which is primarily rooted in social science, design science and ethics.
You will gain profound skills to systematically analyse organisational problems in relation to realising their societal and economic goals, learn to develop and justify effective interventions to address these problems, and mobilise action amongst organisational members in a responsible manner.
We challenge students to develop themselves as reflective academically-trained professional by advancing the ability to effectively using research-based approaches in their work, and to critically interrogate choices and assumption to the design and change of organisations in society.

objectives

The objective of the Organisational & Development programme is to train students to combine a fundamental research perspective on the meaning and role of work organisation with a more practical outlook on how to actually design and develop organisations in a way that increases their chances of success through reorganisation of work processes. The combination of stablility and flexibility within organisations is presented, overlooking the role of markets, cooperation networks and society.

'I appreciate the contact between teachers and students'

The employees in the organisation are the central starting point and this suits me well. The specialisation focuses on interventions in the structure of organisations. The position of organisations in society is also an integral focus of the programme. The small-scale educational environment and the contact between teachers and students is something I really appreciate.
