Location of Lund University
Economic growth, innovation and entrepreneurship are areas of intense research in a number of countries and our faculty represents this state-of-the-art international research. This Master`s programme combines the three areas, meeting a need in analytical and planning work for the ability to merge knowledge about economic modelling and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship with empirical evidence of economic change across time and space.
The programme provides knowledge about theories of economic growth and innovation, as well as insights into the historical evidence of economic growth and innovation, the spatial dimensions of economic growth and innovation and entrepreneurial activity and the commercialisation of innovations. Students will acquire the ability to critically assess reports and scientific literature as well as the ability to carry out investigations and analyses within the field.
Contents
The preceding paragraphs outline the main themes of the master programme Economic Growth, Innovation and Spatial Dynamics. The themes are clearly of primary relevance for the 21st century and a master in Economic Growth, Innovation, and Spatial Dynamics will be well prepared for pursuing analytical work and investigations in private as well as public governance and publishing.
Properly completing two years study at the programme will give the student a master's degree. However, the student can also choose to complete only the first year of the programme and receive a one-year master’s degree. The programme starts with the autumn semester every year.
The programme is provided by the departments of Business Administration, Economic History, and Human Geography. Besides taking the courses given jointly by professors from the three departments, students have to take optional courses given by the participating departments.
During the final part of the spring semester the student carries out an independent research task and writes a paper. The subject of the paper conforms to the chosen alternative of the programme, and the student's supervisor is affiliated with the corresponding department. The three cooperating departments pursue high quality research in areas closely related to the programme and are well equipped for the supervision of students' thesis work.
In addition to the programme, the core courses and the paper writing, the student also has to take optional courses. At the School of Economics and Management optional courses will be offered but these can also be taken at other faculties of Lund University or at another university. However, the optional courses should be of relevance for the programme and guidelines for the choice of optional courses will be supplied.
All courses encompass 7.5 ECTS, and are taught at part-time during half a semester. Normally the student thus studies two courses in parallel.
