The Certificate of Advanced Studies ETH in Public Governance and Administration (CAS PGA) in a nutshell:
What
The CAS PGA is an interdisciplinary continuing education programme that brings together professionals from around the globe for a transformative learning experience to provide the necessary competencies to tackle complex governance challenges. The programme is taught by world-class experts from ETH Zurich and other universities, as well as by highly experienced practitioners.
Who
The CAS PGA is tailored to aspiring international and Swiss public sector leaders and professionals working on governance matters or those who plan to take on governance-related projects in the future.
When
The CAS PGA is composed of an intensive two-weeks block course conducted at the end of August and beginning of September, on-site at the Campus of ETH Zurich in Switzerland, and the writing of an individual CAS Thesis throughout a period of three months following the completion of the block course.
Why
Whether it’is a disaster relief specialist for the International Committee of the Red Cross, an analyst at the Reserve Bank of India or a project manager with the Swiss National Science Foundation, they face similar challenges when transitioning to higher levels of responsibility - they need the ability to dissect multidimensional policy issues, the tools to lead effectively outside your specific area of expertise, and a vision for effective governance in an age of interconnectivity and technological disruption.
Hirschmann Scholarship
The Hirschmann Foundation covers the costs of 5 participants in the CAS PGA each year.
