The MSc in Innovation Management at Aarhus University is a two-year master's taught in English at Aarhus BSS, the School of Business and Social Sciences. It sits where innovation, technology, entrepreneurship and business practice meet, and it is built for people who want to work with innovation inside established companies as well as in new ventures.

What you study

The programme trains you to plan and carry out technology and innovation strategies, to build and push forward innovative processes, and to develop new business opportunities. You work from several theoretical fields at once, so you learn to see how technology, innovation and entrepreneurship fit together in a business.

Teaching mixes theory with practical problem solving. You work in groups on real business problems, and the courses also cover how Generative AI can be used in innovation work. You look at emerging technologies and sustainable business, and you build analytical skills and evidence-based decision making with a focus on the customer.

Admission, language and next steps

To get in, you need a relevant and recognised university degree at bachelor's level, equivalent to a Danish bachelor's degree in level and length (180 ECTS). You also have to meet the programme's specific requirements and the English language requirements. The programme is taught in English.
