Possibilities

An SBP Master degree programme is built of 60 ECTS of master degree modules specific to the master’s discipline (including research skills training*) and an additional 60 ECTS of SBP modules. Thus, the total master’s degree programme will take two years (120 ECTS).

Most students do their SBP year after they have finished their regular master’s year. However, you are allowed to take the two 10 ECTS courses of the SBP-track even during your first master’s year, which may be useful in case you are planning to conduct your work placement abroad or if you are unsure in which direction you would like to specialize. The subsequent SBP work placement (40 ECTS), however, may only be conducted during your second master’s year, because it has an entry requirement: you will need to have successfully completed your research skills training*

Requirements work placement

• You must have successfully completed your disciplinary research skills training*
• You must have completed both the Introduction Science & Business and the Introduction Science & Policy modules.

*usually, a research project of 30-40 ECTS or another defined part of the research skills training, as specified in the Master degree programme’s Teaching and Examination Regulations appendices

Admission

Science, Business & Policy is accessible to most students from FSE. Students who are admitted to an FSE Master programme with SBP do not have to meet additional requirements to be admitted to SBP.

For practically all FSE students, it is also possible to do the two courses or even the SBP-track extracurricular. Ask your study advisor for the details within your own specialisation! If you want to know whether SBP is the right choice for you, please contact us.

Starting dates

The Science, Business & Policy programme starts annually in September.
