The Bath MSc in Innovation and Technology Management
MSc in Innovation and Technology Management
Combining engineering and management to create leaders who can manage and innovate in complex business environments.
Whilst other programmes address the management of technology either from a technical or a management perspective, the Bath MSc in Innovation and Technology Management is unique through its combination of management and engineering, bridging the gap between the two disciplines to ensure that you have the necessary skills to manage and innovate in complex business environments.
Delivered jointly by two of the University’s top-ranked departments – the School of Management and the Department of Mechanical Engineering – the degree will improve your employability by giving you the opportunity to engage in collaborating across complex inter-organisation networks. It will also enable you to develop key commercial skills necessary to manage innovative development projects. In short, the MSc in Innovation and Technology Management will equip you with the skills necessary to take a senior leadership role in managing technological change in the 21st century.
Programme structure The MSc in Innovation and Technology Management is a full-time* programme lasting 12 months. It has a modular
structure and is divided into two 11-week semesters and the dissertation period.
The programme consists of 10 units, each focusing on a different aspect of innovation and technology management. The first unit, ‘Management of Innovation’, introduces the key themes of the programme, while other units provide in-depth treatments of key management and engineering principles, processes and techniques.
You will gain hands-on experience of creativity tools, decision analysis and product design. You will also acquire project management, marketing and strategic skills, and you will learn about management and innovation in complex, global inter-organisation networks.
During the final three months of the degree you will produce a research dissertation. This is your opportunity to explore in far greater depth a particular topic that has been covered during the programme. Given the combined management and engineering nature of the programme, you may choose to produce a dissertation that spans both management and engineering perspectives and methodologies, or opt to
apply either a management or an engineering focus. You will be expected to base your dissertation on real-world innovation management practice.
Our teaching and your learning From interactive lectures to seminars, group project work to practitioner presentations, you’ll be exposed to a diverse range of teaching and learning techniques. You’ll be assessed via a variety of individual and group methods including exams, projects, reports and presentations as well as the final dissertation.
Real-world learning The programme offers a compelling mix of innovation theory, hands-on techniques and industrial best practice. The teaching schedule is supplemented by invited talks from external practitioners, active case studies, and trips to innovative engineering companies. We have numerous links with industry and you will be encouraged to make use of these networks, through interviews, site visits and project work. Throughout the programme you will be taught a range of practical tools to support innovation and technology management.
