A PROGRAM TAILORED TO YOUR AMBITIONS
The Master in Customer Experience & Innovation puts your career goals front and center by placing the customer experience at the heart of learning. Focusing on four core pillars of Business, Technology, Human-centered Design and the transversal INNOLABS, with specialized options to tailor your own academic experience, the program will make you the forward-thinking, innovative and empathetic CX professional that organizations need to attract and retain consumers in a globalized, digitalized market.
Today’s business ecosystem is filled with exciting, attention-grabbing marketing messages, so the customer experience has become a critical driver of success and, therefore, a priority in many organizations' competitive strategies. By learning how to make consumer-centric business decisions, you'll also achieve your own purpose: understand customers, deliver what they need and keep your own career journey moving forward and ever upwards.
That’s why the program is curated to reflect your unique ambitions, strengths and passions. We start by helping you define the now, empowering you to better understand yourself and your ideal career path. Then, we’ll guide you to make choices that align with your goals and skills, delivering a tailored educational experience that will bring you one step closer to your career goals.

The Master in Customer Experience & Innovation provides the stand-out tech expertise, business know-how and strategic, human-centered thinking that employers are looking for—curated guidance, imparted by sector experts.
...AS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE
Customer experience affects the bottom line now more than ever. By offering specialist insights into human behavior, leadership, ethics and more, as well as hands-on learning through corporate, entrepreneurial and social impact projects, every aspect of this program revolves around CX to ensure you have the customer at the heart of your purpose.
