Overview

Following several years of collaboration between the Faculty of Technology from Makerere University and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, a team was established to spearhead the establishment of the M.Sc. Technology Innovation and Industrial Technology.

Thus, the programme will initially be run in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management. The two institutions applied and received a grant of 4,500,000 Norwegian Kroner to facilitate this collaboration for four years within the NORAD Master Studies Programme (NOMA).

The specific objectives of the programme are:

To enhance cooperation between the university, Government and the industrial sector in the country by addressing the challenges faced by industry through training employees from industry, carrying out relevant research projects and sharing expertise, capacities and competence for the benefit of stimulating innovation in industry.
To provide students with knowledge in industrial development, innovations and running of organizations in an efficient and effective way.
To train students in product research and development, and project management methodologies.
To enhance capacity of engineering graduates to offer expert professional services in the form of consultancy to industries.
To produce graduates who have the technical and analytical expertise and the keen understanding of the business environment needed to succeed in entrepreneurial activities.
