Business often find that many young professionals although possessing management skills and knowledge, lack creativity and are not aware of the specific challenges inherent in implementing and managing the cycle of innovation. Furthermore, graduates are not familiar with the requirements of managing dynamic environments. The Master of Business Studies (MBS) in Innovation in European Business is designed to meet the needs of delivering graduates with the perspective of change in an international perspective.
The Master of Business Studies (MBS) in Innovation in European Business is a 15 months (90 ECTS) taught programme taking place across three locations in France (Paris), Ireland (Cork) and The Netherlands (Utrecht).
