The Master’s Programme in ICT Innovation (EIT Digital Master School) is a European double degree programme for students who want to learn about both the technical and business aspects of information and communications technology. The programme syllabus binds together solid technical courses in computer science and software engineering with business development skills. Backed by EIT Digital, one of the knowledge and innovation communities of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), the programme offers study opportunities at top universities in 11 European countries. The two-year Master's programme is completed by studying at two of these 22 universities, both eventually awarding a Master's degree to their graduates.

DID YOU KNOW A DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMME MEANS THAT A STUDENT STUDIES AT TWO DIFFERENT UNIVERSITIES SIMULTANEOUSLY, THUS COMPLETING 2 PROGRAMMES IN LESS TIME THAN IT WOULD TAKE TO EARN THEM SEPARATELY?

The program involves a mandatory mobility period, the first year in an entry university and the second one in an exit university. It also includes a mandatory Summer School held in one of the EIT Digital countries in Europe. At the end of the program a Master degree will be awarded by both universities involved in the mobility scheme. Moreover EIT students will receive an "EIT label" certificate, which aims at attesting the Innovation & Entrepreneurship skills gained during the program.
