The MSc of Inspiration Economy (MIE) programs are a set of ‘Modules’, so it helps the program advisors and IIEP main academic partners to deliver and measure the intended learning outcome (ILOs) within 12-18 months. In general, all the courses are weighed the same credits, except the final course, which is a graduation project (called the inspiration lab project).The programme will run for two academic years (18 months) with each consisting of two semesters. The programme has a unique way of delivery and assessments. The program is a 50% on campus, 50% on the field, online and self-study.
The practical side of the programs is based on what is called ‘Inspiration Labs’, which are focused projects on a particular problem or potential development opportunities. In tackling, for example, socio-economic issues, the students would learn to take a holistic approach, but still focus on bringing solutions from a specific perspective, for example, from the perspective of differential diagnosis, or observations, or behavioural economics, etc. Each of the proposed courses, even the non-core courses, has a type of ‘inspiration lab’ as part of the course completion requirement. Hence, the MIE student has a chance to be an expert in ‘inspiration labs’ through the repeated challenges in each course taken during the period of 12-18 months of the program.
