Fall 2024
Welcome to the Innovation Master programme - ‘Innovation through Business, Engineering, and Design’
Congratulations!
You have been admitted to the master program ‘Innovation through Business, Engineering and Design’ also known as IM, the innovation master.
You are receiving this letter from the three program coordinators, as you are one of the selected Business, Engineering, or Design students starting in Autumn 2024 if you accept your place.
We look forward to meeting you for two years of inspiring challenges in different courses across the three disciplines of Business, Engineering, and Design that make the core of this multidisciplinary master’s program in Innovation. Through multicultural and interdisciplinary teams, you are going to develop a deep understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects related to innovation and sustainable systems through the 3 fields. In addition, you will work on multidisciplinary teams on different projects with continuous guidance from teachers and industry experts from our local and global networks.
A student’s life is intensive, and teamwork is demanding but also fun!
You will train for multidisciplinary skills and develop individual reflections regarding the learning goals and processes. We believe that the program will prepare you well as an industrious and ambitious professional.
