Students will learn from management experts from RSM, and from faculty members from Erasmus MC. After completing the programme’s 60 EC, graduates will be awarded the degree Master of Science in Management of Innovation.
Create impact through knowledge
Recent bachelor graduates from healthcare and life science programmes such as medicine, nanobiology, pharmacology, or biomedicine can develop knowledge and skills to kick off their career in the field of medical business and management. The programme is tailored to the innovation needs of companies and start-ups in medical technology, pharmacology, and life sciences. The programme will be taught completely in English to prepare students for collaborating in a growing and increasingly internationalised sector.
The curriculum covers all aspects of innovation management from initial idea development to its commercialisation. It will prepare future graduates for careers such as product manager in a life science or medical technology company, medical entrepreneur, R&D manager in the healthcare industry, technology transfer manager, laboratory manager, or medical industry consultant.
