Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen

Based on its mission and vision, NSM provides high quality, innovative knowledge about how management and governance in organisations and societies affect the future-proof realisation of multiple values, including social, economic and ecological sustainability, safety, justice and freedom. To provide solutions to complex societal problems, NSM houses a unique combination of seven disciplines: Business Administration, Economics and Business Economics, but also Public Administration, Political Science, Environmental Governance and Politics, Spatial Planning and Human Geography.

Society is calling for critical reflection, for new views and scientifically validated, multidisciplinary knowledge, which can also be used in analysing and solving societal problems. Our mission inspires new bridges between disciplines and researchers. It underlines the importance of interaction with organisations and with society, and it uses the disciplinary diversity and breadth of the school as a source of innovation in academic thinking and acting.

As a result, NSM prepares its graduates to initiate and guide innovative transformation processes that aim for responsible governance and sustainable societies.

NSM has about 5,100 undergraduate and graduate students and 260 fte scientific staff. All our educational curricula focus on sustainability, quality, care for our students, the accessibility of our lecturers and small-scale teaching. Faculty and staff are committed to creating a stimulating study environment in which active participation and involvement from students is required.

Radboud University is located on a beautiful green campus, close to the centre of the university town of Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands.
