Course summary

This programme responds to the rapid growth in the global bioeconomy by providing the core knowledge and skills needed to compete in a rapidly evolving, highly skilled workforce. The Masters in Management of Bioeconomy, Innovation and Governance (MSc MBIG) is an innovative and dynamic postgraduate qualification designed to meet the increasing demand for skilled people in the growing global bioeconomy. The programme responds to a number of key challenges:

  • developing innovations in life science responsibly
  • identifying and exploiting value throughout innovation ecosystems
  • bringing new technologies to existing and emer ging markets
To meet these modern challenges, this programme provides you with a dynamic set of competencies and knowledge about life science innovation, as highly desired by prospective employers in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Our programme takes a qualitative approach and teaches customised methods to deal with complex issues such as:
  • foresight and innovation systems analysis
  • strategic decision making in companies
  • value chain analysis and business model development
  • product and process regulation
  • ensuring ‘responsibility’ in research and innovation
This MSc programme is a conversion course, designed to help people change career direction. All disciplines are welcome, but applicants must show they have a personal interest in bioeconomy, rather than sustainability, finance or business management.
