THE MASTER

In recent decades, innovation in healthcare and wellness has developed rapidly and constantly. However, there is a lack of professionals prepared to drive innovation in these fields with a 360° perspective who can integrate scientific knowledge, business acumen, and strategic thinking tailored to unique challenges and opportunities. Key aspects of innovation in life and health sciences involve developing and applying new technologies, processes, and solutions to address challenges. 

This Master will provide a well-rounded education to drive innovation in these rapidly evolving fields. 

The program of the Master concentrates on the key enabling activities necessary to manage innovation but also delves into cutting-edge scientific research with numerous case-studies. In particular, project management, team leadership, organizational dynamics, coordination of research efforts, management of intellectual property and know-how, regulatory processes (in different areas of innovation from cosmetics and food to pharmaceuticals and medical devices), market analysis, assessment, and financial aspects will be covered throughout the spectrum of technologies. 

These topics will be explored not only at a theoretical/introductory level but also relocated to different application scenarios such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, cosmetics, digital, and food. 

An internship in either academia or industry is mandatory.
