About the Program

Innovation is when the right product and the right solution are developed. The IEM master's programme aims to do just that: graduates tackle and implement ideas to make business and society more sustainable with innovative solutions. The programme is based on four pillars - product/business design, technology, management and a two-semester innovation project. Students can focus on one of two areas of specialisation: Product Innovation or Business Innovation. The innovation project enables students to apply what they've learned in a small team and in a start-up-like environment. Through an agreement with Napier University in Edinburgh (UK), IEM offers the opportunity to obtain two master's degrees.
