Objectives
The European Master’s programme in System Dynamics builds on the strengths of four leading universities in the field: the University of Bergen (Norway), NOVA University Lisbon (Portugal), the University of Palermo (Italy) and Radboud University (the Netherlands). The programme is specifically designed for students who are interested in learning how to initiate strategic change in organizations, supported using computer simulation models.
This master programme is the first international master programme in System Dynamics in Europe. Our goal is to teach you everything you need to know for starting an international career in strategic modelling with System Dynamics. After you have finished our master programme, you will know how to build a System Dynamics model, how to apply it to a variety of real-life problems and how to facilitate the model building process with the client, in such a way that not only a high-quality model can be built, but what is equally important, that a strategic change can be achieved, and policies can be implemented. No other programme in System Dynamics in the world offers you this combination of model building and group facilitation skills. Furthermore, the programme offers a unique and intense international experience that will prepare you for an extensive international career. First, working, studying, and sometimes living with your fellow international students will teach you a great deal of intercultural communication and understanding. Second, studying at three different universities in three different countries will help you learn adapt and become more of a cosmopolitan, feeling at home all over the world. All these skills are highly appreciated by top range employers in the field and will therefore make you a very interesting job candidate for employers.
