Mission

To be innovative today requires a set of skills that move beyond just technical expertise and/or business acumen. Innovation demands cultural insight, creative thinking, and the ability to translate ideas into solutions for real-world complex problems. The MSc in Innovation, Technology and Culture brings together art, technology, and entrepreneurship, creating a transdisciplinary approach that aims to educate hybrid professionals who can operate across boundaries and lead in complex, rapidly evolving environments. Participants learn to think in a transdisciplinary way that combines creative methodologies, emerging technological innovations, and strategic execution in order to build ventures, organizations, and initiatives that expand cultural participation, support and promote sustainable growth, and consequently shape the future of the creative economy. 

The program’s mission is to educate transdisciplinary innovators who transform creativity and culture into technologically enabled, socially responsible, and economically sustainable impact.

The program is structured around an integrated educational framework designed to support transdisciplinary capability development across diverse entry backgrounds. Rather than operating as discrete learning streams, the student experience and engagement is organized as a coherent learning architecture and system consisting of three interdependent flows: the Core Curriculum, the Acceleration Process, and Experiential Learning.

Together, these components function as one sequential and mutually reinforcing system. The Core Curriculum establishes a shared intellectual and technical foundation across creativity, business, and technology. The Acceleration Process translates this knowledge into applied competencies through intensive venture development and collaborative problem-solving. Experiential Learning extends this progression into real-world contexts, enabling students to test, refine, and professionalize their capabilities within existing and functioning industry and cultural ecosystems.

This integrated design ensures cumulative learning, alignment between theory and practice, and progressive as well as tangible transformation from disciplinary specialists to transdisciplinary innovation practitioners.
