 Hi, my name is Anna Salazar and I would like to introduce you to the International Bachelor's program of Global Management of Social Issues or GMSI for short. GMSI is a unique three-year program that will teach you how to analyze, address and approach complex societal challenges from an organizational and management perspective. We also call these complex societal challenges wicket problems as they are highly controversial and very difficult, if not impossible to solve. Examples of wicket problems are climate change, poverty and migration. Wicket problems will be addressed from an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective. You will learn how to understand and manage them from combining insights from organization studies, human research studies and sociology. We call this Organizing for Wicket Problems. Your first year consists of introductory courses within the social sciences such as Wicket Problems 101 and introduction to human research studies, organization studies, sociology, as well as economics, law and psychology. These courses will help you gain a foundation into understanding the nature and causes of social challenges. The program also consists of academic skills and research method courses that will help you develop your research skills. In your second year you will be able to continue developing your skills with courses such as International Organizations and History of Governance and Public Institutions. You will also be able to continue developing your academic skills. You will be able to put your knowledge into practice and in courses such as Advanced and Project Management you will be able to learn how to manage projects. In simulation exercises you will be able to compose a team of experts that know how to deal with these complex social issues. In your third year you will be given the freedom to create your own personal profile based on your talents, ambitions and interests. You can choose to do an international internship or a project in the Netherlands or go abroad and put your knowledge into practice. You can also choose to do an exchange semester at one of our many partner universities around the world or take elective courses. Finally you finish your bachelor's degree by writing your bachelor's thesis. Throughout your studies you will benefit from an interactive learning environment as well as small scale international classroom with more than 40% of the students coming from abroad. You will also receive personal guidance and coaching from an academic mentor. In this program you will develop your intellectual, personal, interpersonal, communications and organizational skills. With the skills you can choose to pursue a career in the private, public or non-profit sector as well as in an academic institute. This unique program will help you truly understand how you can use your knowledge and skills to make an impact for the benefit of organizations and society as a whole.
