Programme Description
A key concept is that innovation (processes) and technological change are driven by both technological and social forces. In addition, the significance of the international context is constantly becoming clearer. By combining technical knowledge with that from the social sciences, the Master's degree program has a highly multidisciplinary nature. It also has a strong international focus.
Part of your time will be devoted to compulsory courses on innovation and technology in the fields of economics, sociology and law. Next to that, you will work on a major multidisciplinary project and you will choose specializations in technical and social sciences subjects. Your program will be completed with an international internship and a Master's project.
The program conveys scientific theories, tools and techniques to manage innovations both within and across companies. You will learn how to apply the knowledge that you gain in carrying out research into innovation management and in industrial applications. You will also learn ways to analyze the current innovative performance of a company, how to explain it in terms of quality, cost and time, and how to improve this performance by re-engineering innovation processes. You will experience what it means to carry out research yourself, to gain new insights and to apply the acquired knowledge in the many projects that form part of this Master's program.
