Innovation Sciences

You will learn to understand technological innovation and how you can improve and direct innovation. You will develop awareness of the wider international, socio-economic and regulatory contexts.
Succesful innovations are dependent on technological development. However, the question whether an innovation ultimately becomes a success also depends on a range of social factors. The program takes this into account by combining knowledge of technology with that of social science disciplines.

The multidisciplinary nature of the program is reflected in the social sciences courses related to innovation and technology. Your program will be completed with an international internship and a Master's project. This program integrates both social and technical knowledge and insight in relation to technology and innovation. In brief, this Master's program focuses on the question of which technical, economic, social, legal, psychological and ethical aspects need to be taken into account to allow the formulation of effective policy through which technological development and innovation can be initiated in the desired direction. Innovation (processes) and technological change take place in an international context more and more. The program therefore has a strong international focus.
