Course content

The Master’s specialisation in Science, Management and Innovation will take you out of the lab and place you in the heart of society. Many of the challenges that society faces are rooted in the natural or computer sciences but have strong links to other disciplines. Both the public sector and businesses struggle with the question of how to address issues such as sustainability, health, energy and IT security. Solutions require scientists with an additional understanding of the societal aspects of these problems, and the ability to speak the language of and work with all possible stakeholders like scientists, civil servants and politicians. In this programme you will focus on a specific scientific field, as well as skills needed to engage with society.

What will you learn?

• Develop your knowledge of a specific field of science
• Gain a broad understanding of specific areas of encounter between science, business and government
• Choose to focus on a societally relevant theme
• Get experience designing, conducting and presenting your research
