MARIHE – Preparing Higher Education for the Future
In Europe as well as in other regions of the world fundamental transition processes are taking place in the systems of research, innovation and tertiary education: from regulation to deregulation and competition, from steering to market, from administration to management. Institutions involved as higher education (HE) and research institutions are largely affected by these changes.
They need highly trained experts who are able to understand and analyse these new contexts, who can link system change with institutional change and who have developed management skills to deal with the changing environment inside HE and research institutions. The Master in Research and Innovation in Higher Education (MARIHE), a four semester master programme delivered in English language, is designed to meet these standards.
Graduates of MARIHE are able to understand the needs and the culture of HE and research institutions. They are competent in policy analysis and evaluation and will take the lead with their expertise in future developments in the management and development of research and innovation in higher education.
High Level Education supported by the Erasmus Mundus Programme
As an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course, MARIHE is supported by the Erasmus Mundus Programme of the European Commission. High potential candidates from all over the world can apply for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. Applicants for MARIHE must hold a first university degree in a relevant field, have a good command of English and show a strong motivation and interest to learn and work in the field of research and innovation, development and management in higher education.
Global thinking needs mobility
A master programme with a global perspective, MARIHE builds on the expertise of its international consortium partners: Danube University Krems (Austria), University of Tampere (Finland), University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück (Germany) and Beijing Normal University (China). Students of MARIHE will gain manifold perspectives and rich intercultural experience through mobility: they will study in two or even three European countries and in China. An internship, provided by enterprises and organizations related to the topic of the course, will give students insight into fields of practice in the research and higher education sector.
With the support of the Erasmus Mundus programme of the European Union
Erasmus Mundus is a cooperation and mobility programme in the field of higher education that aims to enhance the quality of European higher education and to promote dialogue and understanding between people and cultures through cooperation with Third-Countries.
