School of Senior Civil Service

The Management Development Programme is one of the School's earliest pilot outputs.

• Change management in public sector
• The art of communication in public management
• Strategic management
• Management
• Leadership
• Human Resource Management (HRM)

The Information Resource Centre seeks to provide trainees of the School of Senior Civil Service with necessary information and meet their intellectual needs to ensure better understanding of various ideas that are given rise to during training. A collection of books, electronic resources and professional support from a librarian are at trainees' disposal.

The Information Resource Centre of the School of Senior Civil Service contains around 1,500 books, scientific works, training cases, and leading periodicals. It provides authorized School trainees with the access to electronic archives and training materials.

The School cooperates with schools of public administration, in particular the Dutch Institute for Public Administration (ROI), the Danish School of Public Administration (DSPA), the Bavarian Administration School (BVS), and other European training institutions that have experience in professional training of civil servants.
