Master's Degree Programme in Entrepreneurship

Fostering entrepreneurship and its education is globally seen as an accelerator in developing economy and society in changing and complex environment. This need relates to the interrelated triangle of evolving labour markets and employment, innovativeness and renewal of economies, educational institutions and individual competences.

Broadly understood, entrepreneurship refers to the way that individuals and organisations create and implement new ideas and ways of doing things, respond proactively to the environment, and thus initiate change in uncertainty and complexity. The focus is on opportunity creation, exploration and exploitation in diverse contexts – start-ups, small businesses, large firms and organisations as well as in the interface between public and private sectors. These competences are at the core of the Entrepreneurship Master´s programme.

The programme offers the students an outstanding opportunity to learn how to behave entrepreneurially and create new ventures in a global context as a business owner-manager or team member, as an entrepreneurial expert or manager, as a policy maker in diverse national and international positions or as an advisor/consultant of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial processes.
