Program Structure

Program Structure

The MTIM Postgraduate Program leads to a Master’s of Science (MSc) degree in ‘Technology and Innovation Management’. The MTIM has been designed around the specific themes of Technology & Innovation Management. The units are structured to provide a strong and coherent narrative.

The program’s duration is either 12 months (full-time) or 24 months (part-time).

The full-time graduate program comprises:

• Two semesters of 13 weeks each one with course work on a full-time basis (60 ECTS). Formal examinations are conducted after each semester, and
• Following the successful completion of their exams, the students will have a 3-month period to prepare their master thesis (15 ECTS).

The course will consist of three main components:

• Lectures
• Laboratory exercises
• Computer exercises

These take place during a two-semester period (13 weeks each).

The courses are offered through an eLearning platform.

The full-time program is altered accordingly.
