The SBI Master’s programme is a collaboration between the Faculty of Science, the School of Business and Economics, and the Faculty of Social Sciences. And it’s the only such degree in the Netherlands, making it a unique proposition for prospective candidates. This challenging programme has been especially designed for students who already have a solid background in natural sciences, technology studies and science-based innovation studies.
Examples of topics you’ll explore include:
- Sustainable energy technologies, including biosolar cells, organic photovoltaics, and green chemistry
- Health and life sciences, such as protein science, chemical biology, pharmaceutical principles, and molecular diagnostics
- Business courses on sustainable innovation management, value creation in the life sciences sector, and the impact of digital innovation on organisations
In addition to your coursework, you will work on a science project and a group project envisioning a sustainable future. In the second year, you will complete your SBI research project and Master’s thesis.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have developed into a business-oriented and management-driven innovation professional, with knowledge and insight in natural sciences as well as the business and social science of your specialisation. You’ll also have the chance to exchange results, experience, insights and knowledge with your fellow students. Plus, you’ll attend Master’s group meetings to improve your communication and teamwork skills, and to help build your network.
The start date of this programme is September 1st.
