Master in Research and Innovation in Higher Education Scholarships 2025/2026

Main Topics and Learning Outcomes

In the master course “Research and Innovation in Higher Education” (MARIHE), students will develop a sound understanding of the change processes and how these link to education systems and labour markets in general.

Thus, the curriculum reflects on three perspectives to the change logics involved: first, on “systems in transition” - focussing on general developments and regional contexts (i.e. Europe, Africa, Asia, globalization, regionalization), second, the perspective on interactions between “system – institution” (i.e. funding of research and innovation), and third, from the institutional perspective (i.e. “change management”).

Importance is also given to transferable skills (i.e. research methods, languages, leadership). Graduates will be able to understand the specialties of scientific institutions and to adapt marketization and deregulation instruments to the needs and the culture of the institutions.

They are competent in policy analysis and evaluation and will take the lead with their expertise in future developments in the management and development of research and innovation in higher education.

Mobilities

In terms of mobility, students will gain manifold perspectives and rich intercultural experience: During 4 semester (120 ECTS) they will study in at least 2 European countries (Danube University Krems/Austria, the University of Tampere/Finland, the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück/Germany) and Beijing Normal University/China.

After the 2nd semester students will get insight into fields of practice during an internship, provided by enterprises and organizations related to the topic of the course.

To mention some of them: OECD (IMHE programme, France), Austrian Research Promotion Agency (Austria), ESMU - European Centre for Strategic Management of Universities (Belgium), HIS - Higher Education Information Systems (Germany), Cerion Solutions LTD (Finland), CHE consult (Germany), Finpro (Finland).
