Wicked problems are complex interdisciplinary issues that require innovative and diverse answers for organisations that add value to both people and our planet. The master’s programme consists of three pillars: Applied Research, Interdisciplinary Assignments and Professional Skills Development & Ethics. These three pillars are based on the view that the future business professional needs to be equipped with critical thinking skills along with analytical skills to be able to handle complex issues. The master’s programme kicks off with an intensive week where you will meet fellow students and experience the four core disciplines of the programme: Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Business & IT. In the following weeks you will work in interdisciplinary teams on an assignment centred around one of the themes of the master’s programme. During these weeks you will receive intensive training on your research skills. Via the Networking Event at the start of the Innovation Assignment module, you are enabled to do your research project acquisition.

This module provides a dynamic combination of co-creation with fellow-students and the professional field, academic depth provided by (guest) lectures and professorships, and an evidence-based approach with insights from different disciplinary perspectives. Both (guest) lectures from experts in the field and the Community of Learners will support you throughout the master’s programme. Your master thesis is the centrepiece of the program
