The integration of management science, business processes, and technology is a central theme throughout the Master’s curriculum. This is reflected in course units focusing on organisational management, resource allocation, and business processes, such as Strategic Management, Human Resource Management, and Business Process Management.
The technological dimension of the programme is further strengthened through courses such as Technology for the Circular Economy and System Dynamics. The interaction between technology and business management is explored in courses including Financing High-Tech Entrepreneurial Companies, Technology Entrepreneurship, Innovation Management, and Enterprise Architecture.
Across these course units, key principles of management science are consistently applied, including mathematical modelling, simulation, statistics, and numerical algorithms. These methods enhance an organisation’s capacity to make rational, informed, and impactful management decisions.
In addition to the (domain) Master’s programme described above, you can also choose a Master’s Programme in Teaching (in Dutch: Educatieve Master). Find out more at www.ugent.be/educatievemaster (in Dutch).
It is possible to participate in a double degree programme with the Université de Liège or the University of Porto or the University of Tartu (Estonia). In a double degree programme students receive a degree of both the home and the host university.
