conducted in English at Stralsund University of Applied Sciences. It is tailored to Bachelor's
graduates who wish to initiate, implement and evaluate innovations in the product, service and
process areas of international organisations.

Innovations of all kinds are essential drivers of the global economy. Thus, an economics-oriented
degree programme which focuses on innovation management in an international context offers
numerous fields of activity for future graduates. The interdisciplinary approach opens the door to a
wide variety of professions.
The programme can be completed in three or four semesters.
Course Details
Course organisation Our teaching concept for the Master's programme International Innovation Management is based
on the basic principles as well as in-depth knowledge in the field of innovation management. It
enables students to pursue a career in international organisations and academia (e.g. PhD).

trips (two per semester)
Online lectures at fixed times from 15.45pm on weekdays

The Master's thesis is completed and defended in the third semester. Students with a first degree of

Possibility of finding part- HOST offers regularly student assistant positions for which you can apply (in accordance with the
time employment regulations of your residence permit). In addition, the city and the region offer various
opportunities for student jobs – especially as it is a tourist region.
Accommodation As a campus university, HOST offers one of the most charming accommodation options: in a small
village in Scandinavian look and feel, called "Holzhausen", located on campus – just a few steps
from the mensa (cafeteria) and the schools.
Whether in student halls of residence, a shared flat or your first own flat, this decision has to be
made by you and should be made according to your own desires and available funds. Stralsund
offers exceptionally good conditions and is not affected by overly expensive rental prices and a
highly competitive property market like in other study locations and cities.

The University of Applied Sciences Stralsund (HOST) is a young and innovative campus university. With its modern facilities, an excellent
supervision ratio and its top location directly on the Baltic Sea, the University of Applied Sciences Stralsund offers optimal conditions for
study, research and living.
The campus university, located directly on the Baltic Sea, offers prospective students a choice of 26 accredited Bachelor's and Master's
programmes and a diploma supplementary course in German or English. As a relatively young university, which was only founded in 1991,
Stralsund has many modernly equipped laboratories, lecture halls and seminar rooms, which guarantee an optimal learning environment.
Moreover, the university offers on-campus living for up to 270 students within sight of the Baltic Sea.

At present, around 2,400 students from 60 countries study at the three schools of Business Studies, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical
Engineering & Computer Science. The range of courses include both classic subjects such as Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering
and Business Administration as well as new and innovative programmes such as IT Security and Mobile Systems, Motorsport Engineering
and Tourism Development Strategies. Nearly all courses can also be taken in the form of a dual study programme with a highly practical
component. The university cooperates with numerous companies for this purpose.
Because studying is important, but it is not everything, there are various leisure activities on campus. For example, the student project
teams Baltic Racing, ThaiGer-H2-Racing and MariTeam Racing develop racing cars and motorcycles at the highest level. Recently, the HOST
even celebrated three European Championship titles in a row! In addition, the campus has its own gym, weight room and sports field with a
wide range of sports activities, such as beach volleyball, sailing and diving.
Although the HOST is a relatively small university in north-eastern Germany, it has a broad international network. Within the framework of
the Erasmus+ programme, the university has 72 partner universities throughout Europe. Those who feel that this is not enough can also
spend a semester abroad at one of the many partner universities worldwide in locations such as Oman, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and
many other countries.
University location
The old Hanseatic town of Stralsund, founded in 1234, is situated in the north-east of the federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania,
and it has been a university town since 1991. Stralsund's 800 historical buildings, which are classified as historical monuments and were
built in different historical eras, have witnessed 770 years of the town's history, particularly the Hanseatic period. The city centres of
Stralsund and Wismar were recognised by UNESCO as part of the World Heritage Programme in 2002.
