What is the Master of Management in Innovation Studies?
The Master of Management in Innovation Studies concentrates on innovation from both the policy and management perspectives. The interdisciplinary programme brings together world-class faculty. It engages with an investigation of how innovation and its impact on economic growth and development can be shaped for the achievement of broad societal goals. The Master of Management in Innovation Studies programme draws on disciplinary traditions in management, public policy, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. The distinct features of the programme include:
- unique offering with world-class faculty
- first of its kind in the world
- academically rigorous and specialised
- affordable and flexible pricing (R85,000 over two years for part time candidates)
Who are suitable candidates?
The Master of Management in Innovation Studies is designed for individuals with relevant undergraduate degrees (in for example, business, economics, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, law) who intend to pursue careers in specific areas of innovation management or innovation policy in business, academia, development institutions or other civil society organisations. It is attractive to mid-level professionals who are working within agencies responsible for developing and executing innovation policy and programmes at municipal, regional or national level.
What are the admission requirements?
Applicants should have obtained a bachelor’s or higher degree from a recognized university or similar institution. In very exceptional cases an application from a person who holds a senior managerial position, who has many years of relevant business experience and is in possession of a qualification other than a degree may be considered. In addition, applicants are expected to be in possession of post-university experience. Five years post-university experience is required, and applicants with more experience have a better chance of being ed. An applicant for this programme is expected to be well motivated and to be conversant with the nature of content of innovation management and/or policy and to have a desire to acquire specialist training and education in the field.
