In any achievement domain, there is an increasing focus on the development, selection, and promotion of talent and creativity. In this unique, internationally-oriented Master's programme you will develop the expertise to select, develop, and nurture talent and creativity in individuals and organisations across achievement domains.

You will learn about the theoretical and practical approaches to talent development and creativity, and about the psychology of success. You will get in touch with organisations from different industries, sports clubs, and schools, that aim to improve the selection and development of talent and creativity. Furthermore, you will develop coaching skills to enhance people’s personal and professional potential.

As part of your Master’s thesis you will carry out a research project to investigate the development of talent and/or creativity in the achievement domain that interests you most.

From September onwards, most of our courses will be offered online. Where possible and necessary we will combine the online education with lectures and activities on campus, since we feel it is important that you can meet your lecturers and fellow students in person.
