Innovation and Business

Innovation and Business is an engineering programme that combines creativity and traditional engineering subjects with business comprehension. The goal of the programme is to produce idea and product developers with sound technical knowledge and a good sense of business.

You learn to work with product development from two angles: you gain a fundamental technical knowledge about product properties and an understanding of how the product can develop and be part of a business-driven perspective.

During the programme you will learn to manage the process from developing new concepts to planning, managing and implementing your own business concept. You will work in these areas:

• Microeconomics
• Embedded systems
• Innovation management
• Operations management
• User centred design

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

If you choose to complete the bachelor degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Engineering (Innovation and Business).
