IE MSc Innovation Management: Specialization Tracks

IE&IS PAGE 3

Students will first choose a track, and subsequently will start the search for a mentor within that track.

There will be a free market period, during which students and mentors can have interviews in order to find a good student-mentor match. In order to support this matching process, we will try to balance the requests for interviews.
