Key Summary

    About : The MSc in Innovation Sciences focuses on understanding and managing innovation and technological advancements. This one-year program offers insights into the processes of innovation, from idea inception to implementation. Students will explore a range of topics, including design thinking, system innovation, and market dynamics to prepare them for leadership roles in various sectors.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates may pursue careers in innovation management, consulting, research and development, and strategic marketing. Potential roles can include innovation strategist, project manager, or product developer, amplifying skills to drive change in organizations effectively.

The Innovation Sciences Master’s Program teaches you how to analyze, manage and influence innovation processes at a strategic level. While innovation is crucial for economic growth, sustainable development and welfare, many inspiring technological ideas never become successful.

Innovation Sciences focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of why this is the case. You will learn to understand and manage the mechanisms and processes involved in developing and introducing new technological options. Our students have an interest or a background in technology (such as Computer Science, Sustainable Innovation, Industrial Engineering or Physics) but would like to apply their skills on a broader, more strategic level.

Important questions for innovation scientists include how industries, cities, regions or countries can create an innovative climate in a globalizing world and which factors and actors determine whether a new technology will succeed as well as how government and business can introduce innovations that lead to sustainable development. Within the Master programme we therefore have two specializations:

  1. Innovation in the global context (Sustainable development, globalization, energy)
  2. Innovation in the knowledge economy (Globalization, ICT, knowledge networks)

International semester

During the Master’s degree program you will spend one semester abroad, at a university specializing in technology and innovation.
