The Advanced Master in Innovation and Strategic Management: Experience, Evolve, Excel

The Advanced Master in Innovation and Strategic Management (AMISM) is designed for recent graduates and early-career professionals who are ready to take the next bold step, drive organisational change, lead innovation, and handle corporate strategy with insight and agility.
 
Over the course of 10 full-time months, participants immerse themselves in a learning experience that bridges strategy, innovation, and personal development, preparing them to enter today’s business world while shaping tomorrow’s. Here are the ten best features during their time with us: 

1. Learn by doing

Theory only gets you so far. AMISM brings business concepts to life through simulations, consulting missions, and hands-on fieldwork. From day one, you’ll tackle complex challenges that mirror real-world business scenarios — equipping you with practical skills that translate directly into the workplace.

2. Learn from those who lead

Courses are led by a diverse mix of practitioners and scholars, from strategy consultants to innovation researchers, all of whom bring fresh, real-world relevance to the classroom. The result: teaching that’s grounded in today’s business realities and tomorrow’s big questions.

3. Join a close-knit international cohort

Each cohort brings together a select group of ambitious individuals from around the world. This diversity isn’t just geographical: it spans academic backgrounds, professional aspirations, and ways of thinking. It’s the kind of environment where debate, collaboration, and unexpected insights thrive, and an accurate simulation of how to cooperate across international teams within global players.

4. Shape your own path with tailored minors

AMISM allows you to shape your journey through two targeted minors:

• The Entrepreneurship minor includes a venture incubator where you can explore and test your own startup ideas.
• The Strategy minor offers a consulting project with a real company, giving you concrete experience in strategic thinking and execution.

Both paths offer immersive, hands-on learning to deepen your expertise in your chosen field.

5. Think big, think long term

The programme helps you zoom out to see the bigger picture. You’ll explore the systemic trends — from sustainability to AI — reshaping industries, societies, and the very nature of business. This perspective sharpens your strategic thinking and helps you become a more responsible and impactful leader.

6. Get support that’s truly personal

Your ambitions are unique, and your career support should be too. AMISM includes dedicated coaching designed to help you clarify your goals, understand your strengths, locate and prepare for interviews, and develop a clear action plan for life after graduation.
