New International MSc in Strategic Innovation and Future Creation - MALTA

The University of Malta is pleased to announce that applications are
now open for the October 2009 intake for the NEW International M.Sc.
in Strategic Innovation and Future Creation (see www.einnform.eu).
This is an innovative new international Masters Level Programme aimed
mainly (but not solely) at mid-career professionals who wish to
improve their capacity for Strategic Innovation and Future Creation.

**About the M.Sc**
This M.Sc programme is being launched by the University of Malta in
collaboration with the University of Potsdam (Germany), University of
Teeside (UK) and Turku School of Economics (Finland). The programme
will be delivered by experts from the four European Universities,
covering four main subject areas; Creativity and Idea generation,
Innovation management, Foresight/ Futures studies and
Entrepreneurship. Students will be expected to obtain 120 ECTS over
four semesters (two academic years).

This exciting new M.Sc has been specifically designed for individuals
who are unable to leave their place of residence/ work for lengthy
periods of time due to other commitments they may have. The programme
will be delivered mainly by asynchronous e-learning (approx 15 hours
p/week in your own time).  This offers students a great degree of
autonomy and flexibility. The online component will be complemented by
four intensive residential seminars of one week each, spread over the
two years (one week at each partner University). A more detailed
course description can be found on www.einnform.eu

*Fees*
Fees are expected to be in the region of Euro.8000 per annum.. The fee
includes the examinations and the four (six-day) face-to-face
seminars, but does not include students' travel and accomodation
expenses. The University of Malta reserves the right to increase fees
periodically should this be deemed necessary. Students will be
notified prior to such changes should this be the case.

*Minimum requirements*
The minimum requirement to enrol in the M.Sc is an undergraduate
degree in any discipline from a recognised university.
