Upon admission, candidates are given a solid foundation in the various functional aspects of technology management along with two elective courses within science, allowing them to pursue a management career or work as project leaders of new technology-based ventures. The program is largely an “on the job” training program with hands-on venture projects. Some of these projects may become viable corporate or academic spin-offs, yet others may be independent start-ups. Admitted candidates will get the opportunity to develop and apply their hard-earned skills through internships in Oslo Medtech member companies.
