Audimax of the University of Speyer, designed in 1959 by Sep Ruf
A special feature in Germany: the University of Speyer is supported by the federal government and all 16 federal states - symbolized in the auditorium by the coat of arms of the university's bearers with the federal eagle and the coats of arms of the 16 federal states; the coat of arms on the top left is the university coat of arms
Sep Ruf's light architecture: hall to the right (north) of the main entrance, with a view of the small eastern courtyard. Behind the window front of the Audimax.
Lecture hall 1, north side with double projection options and video conference connection
Sep Ruf's creative drive: Lecture hall 1 is opened to nature with a glass wall. The shear wall and a wooden canopy, like the top of the interior, seem to continue the space outdoors.

The German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer is a federal educational institution and is considered the leading university for the study of administrative sciences in Germany. Founded in 1947 as the State Academy for Administrative Sciences Speyer under the then French occupying power based on the original model of the École nationale d'administration (ENA), the university soon became the University of Administrative Sciences Speyer and, after German reunification, the German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer ( DHV Speyer) renamed. It is jointly supported by the federal government, the home state Rhineland-Palatinate and the other 15 federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany, and is each financed by around one third.

Today's university is entrusted with the maintenance of administrative sciences in research and teaching by the law on the German University for Administrative Sciences . In addition to the normative regulation, the University of Speyer is based on a state treaty between the home state Rhineland-Palatinate , the other federal states and the federal government.

The university offers five courses of study: the one-semester postgraduate administrative science supplementary course, the one-year postgraduate postgraduate course to the Magister in Administrative Sciences and, since 2012, the two Master's courses in Public Administration for at least Bachelor graduates (initially Administrative Sciences and Public Economics and part-time and paid the Master in Science Management . In spring and autumn, the university offers further training events for civil servants in the higher service .

Most of the professors at the university do research on the state and administration not only in their chairs, but also as members of the German Research Institute for Public Administration Speyer , which was part of the Leibniz Association , located on campus .

As of July 2005, the university had 17 chairs , around 65 lecturers and around 300 to 400 students . The average age of the students in May 2008 was 29 years.

courses

Supplementary studies in administrative science

Around half of the student body for this one-semester postgraduate supplementary course consists of graduates from non-legal disciplines, in particular economists, social and political scientists. Moreover, there is about half of the students from lawyers to legal after the first state examination which closes the university training of lawyers, as Rechtsreferendare be formed practically and theoretically further in various stations, and the management duty station, the choice station or the attorney station at the University of Speyer can do. Upon request, the trainee lawyers are sent to Speyer for supplementary studies by the federal states in which they are being trained. A binding quota has been allocated to each federal state. The sending takes place depending on the state after performance principle (results of the first state examination) after served basis (order of requests) or by Losprinzip. Students can choose from around 100 courses. You have to take between 20 and 22 hours per week in the semester, of which one seminar each, a project-related working group (de facto another seminar, usually organized by a practitioner), lawyers also their so-called national exercise. The semester times are from November 1st to January 31st (winter semester) and from May 1st to July 31st (summer semester).

Postgraduate studies for a master’s degree in administrative sciences

There is also a two-semester postgraduate course for above-average (best 30%) graduates of a university degree in law , economics or social sciences that lead to a Magister in Administrative Sciences (Magister rerum publicarum with the abbreviation Mag. Rer. Publ.). It uses the same courses as the supplementary course. Within this course, which is completed by around 30 German and 10 foreign students (a total of 43 advanced students in the 2011 summer semester), various focus areas can be selected. The title of Mag. Rer. publ. has been awarded to almost 1,500 graduates since the university was founded (as of April 2012).

Since 1991, the University of Speyer has offered an international supplement to the postgraduate course. This so-called EMPA course (European Masters of Public Administration) is a study program at various European universities and offers participants in the postgraduate course the opportunity to complete an additional semester abroad at one of the partner universities. In this way, participants in the EMPA program have the opportunity to acquire knowledge of the public administration of another European country and to familiarize themselves with the process of internationalization of public administration. In addition to Speyer, the partner universities include the following universities:

The EMPA program is integrated into the postgraduate course in administrative science. All participants in the EMPA program receive a certificate of participation in the EMPA program after the regular - but postponed - Magister examination in addition to the academic degree "Magister of Administrative Sciences".

Masters courses in Administrative Sciences (Public Administration) and Public Economics

In November 2011 the two master’s courses “Administrative Sciences” and “Public Economy” started at the university. Both courses are offered in a two-year variant for graduates of relevant Bachelor courses and in a one-year variant for graduates of relevant courses with a diploma, master's or master's degree or with a state examination. Since the 2015/16 winter semester, only the two-year variant has been offered and the master’s “Administrative Sciences” has been renamed “Public Administration”.

The master's degree in “Public Administration” imparts transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary combined knowledge of action and decision-making in the public sector from the point of view of administrative science, law, social science and economics. On a broad scientific basis, the students acquire control knowledge with regard to design options for the fulfillment of public tasks and the decision-making processes required for them. You will learn to develop new problem perspectives and solutions that respond to the changed role of the state and administration in an internationally open order and meet the requirements of constitutional and democratic action as well as economic effectiveness and efficiency. The master’s degree in public economy enables its graduates to take on management positions in the public economy or in positions entrusted with the supervision or regulation of public economy as well as in the related consulting companies. You qualify e.g. B. for the professional fields of public companies, companies that are active in services of general interest, ministries, authorities at all state or municipal levels, regulatory and competition authorities, consulting firms, commercial law firms or business development institutions. After completing their studies, the graduates are able to participate in the design of public economic activity and to analyze options in this regard. Representatives from professional practice were involved in a workshop to define the qualification objectives.

Part-time MPA science management course

The curriculum of the two-year course is based on the many years of experience of the German University for Administrative Sciences Speyer and the Center for Science Management eV (ZWM) in the advanced training of executives. In contrast to other continuing education programs that focus either on the higher education sector or the education sector, the Speyer master's degree is geared towards the entire scientific system with its various organizations and structures.

Doctorate and habilitation

The university has the right to award doctorates ( Doctor of Administrative Sciences, Dr. rerum publicarum abbreviated: Dr. rer. Publ.) And the right to habilitation . In the meantime, due to a change in the doctoral regulations at the university, the degree of Dr. iuris and a Dr. rer. pole. to be obtained.

The prerequisite for a doctorate is, among other things, that a degree in law , economics , social sciences or history has been completed with an above-average result (best third) or the academic degree of a master's degree in administrative sciences has been passed with an overall grade of at least good.

The doctoral program lasts at least two semesters and does not have to be completed consecutively. Semesters completed in supplementary or postgraduate studies can be credited towards the course.

Speyer University Library

With around 310,000 works (as of July 2014) on almost 2,000 m², the Speyer University Library is the largest special administrative library in Germany. After the neighboring Palatinate State Library in Speyer , which holds around 1 million books, it is the second largest library in Speyer. The main focus of the holdings are law, administration and economics, political science, philosophy, social sciences and modern history. The library holds approximately 1,000 periodicals, including both domestic and foreign journals and decision books, and provides access to approximately 12,500 journals and newspapers in electronic form. A wide variety of specialist databases are also available. a. Juris , Beck-Online and Legion. The university library thus covers the information requirements for research, teaching and studying in the subject areas mentioned and also offers over 200 workplaces. The online catalog OPAC (Open Public Access Catalog) can be used to research the library's holdings and the availability of individual works. In addition to the members of the German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer, the library is also available to interested citizens as a reference library. The university is aiming to build a new library with a computer center, for which a plan by the architect Max Dudler was drawn up after a VOF tender .

Street names and development

The German University of Administrative Sciences Speyer, whose campus includes a street block in the Speyer-Südwest area, has been given two street names by the city of Speyer. The east side of the campus with the teaching building (lecture halls, library, rectorate and study administration) and Freiherr vom Stein guest house (student room, center for science management , third-party funded staff, infrastructure management of the university) is accessed from Freiherr-vom-Stein-Strasse named after the Prussian administrative reformer Heinrich Friedrich Karl from and to the stone . Since the sports fields of the double grammar school are on the west side of the street, the University of Speyer is the only one on the street despite house number 2. The south side of the campus with taberna ( cafeteria ), research building (chairs and research institute), guest house Otto Mayer and the external building of the Speyer advanced training center of the PL is accessed from Otto-Mayer-Straße , named after the lawyer and important founder of administrative science Otto Mayer , who was also the father of the Administrative Procedure Act .

architecture

It is noteworthy that the core of the small campus on the western edge of the city of Speyer was built from 1959 to 1960 by the well-known post-war architect Sep Ruf , who was in the Bauhaus tradition . The teaching building with library and academic administration, in which Sep Ruf his goal of integrating nature into the building, with three inner courtyards, glass walls to the outside, shear walls with which the lecture hall walls are extended into nature, and cantilevered flat roofs as an extension who realized ceilings in the open air is considered particularly successful. The building was carefully renovated by Günther Franz (President of the Rhineland-Palatinate Chamber of Architects). The building complex was included in the list of cultural monuments of Rhineland-Palatinate.
