What you study

This profile sits under the Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense. It is taught in English and takes two years. The register description does not list individual courses or credit totals, so check the programme page for the module plan.

The subject is the management of technological innovation and business development. You work through three segments. The first is about formulating and implementing strategy. The second looks at analysing and designing innovative organisations. The third covers management of technology. Each part builds on the one before, moving from theory to practical business issues.

You learn methods and tools that support business development, consulting and the management of innovation processes. You also train in leading projects at business and corporate level that involve developing, introducing and implementing new technologies and methods. At the final level you connect the technological side of a business with the commercial side.

Admission, language and next steps

Applicants with a BSc in Economics and Business Administration from a university are qualified for admission. A professional bachelor degree or another qualifying degree may be accepted if certain demands are met. To count as a BSc in Economics and Business Administration, your bachelor degree must come from a university and include at least 75 ECTS in economics and business administration.

You may also need to document your English at a level set by the university.
