Strategic Purpose Statement |
Graduates will have produced a research portfolio that builds on their existing knowledge in science, business, engineering, law, design, or another appropriate discipline. They will be able to contribute to the development and progression of innovations in research-led and commercially orientated organisations by applying their practical experience. They will be highly competent at working with colleagues to synthesise specialist knowledge from their own field with knowledge from other fields. Graduates will be business-ready scientists, designers, or engineers, or science-, design- and engineering-literate entrepreneurs from other disciplines, and will be excellent communicators. They will find employment in advanced-technology enterprises or related fields. Some graduates may continue to doctoral study. From 2016, the Master of Innovation and Commercialisation replaced the Master of Advanced Technology Enterprise (VI00Z3).

Content |
A four-week, intensive, introductory course, followed by a first-trimester course in strategy and validation and a second-trimester course in development and commercialisation. Concurrently, students work in teams on a research portfolio programme, taken over two trimesters. They produce individual research portfolios as well as applying their expertise to the projects of their fellow team members. The programme is structured to ensure that students gain knowledge, skills and practical experience in the realisation of developing and commercialising innovations. Drawing on the disciplines of science, engineering, design, technology, law, business and other appropriate areas, students will be immersed in the culture of advanced-technology development and commercialisation. They are exposed to both theory and practice, while working in teams encompassing the appropriate mix of discipline backgrounds. The teams and individuals work with practitioners across the innovation sector.
Evaluation: A combination of enterprise, team and business plans and presentations, both group and individual, and an individual research portfolio. |
