Master's Programme (Two years) in Economic Growth, Innovation & Spatial Dynamics

Economic growth, innovation and entrepreneurship are areas of intense research in a number of countries and our faculty represents this state-of-the-art international research. This Master`s programme combines the three areas, meeting a need in analytical and planning work for the ability to merge knowledge about economic modelling and the role of innovation and entrepreneurship with empirical evidence of economic change across time and space.

The programme provides knowledge about theories of economic growth and innovation, as well as insights into the historical evidence of economic growth and innovation, the spatial dimensions of economic growth and innovation and entrepreneurial activity and the commercialisation of innovations. Students will acquire the ability to critically assess reports and scientific literature as well as the ability to carry out investigations and analyses within the field.
