About the programme
The world needs next-generation leaders who can identify opportunities, turn ideas into action, and drive sustainable growth. This programme equips you with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to make that impact.

The programme concludes with a 15-credit master’s thesis, where you apply your knowledge to a focused topic in entrepreneurship or innovation.
Your future career
After graduation, you will be prepared for roles where innovation and transformation are central. You might launch your own venture or work as a business developer, innovation manager, or change leader in start-up corporations, public organisations, or NGOs. You will bring a unique combination of creativity, analytical skills, and responsible leadership – making you well equipped to drive sustainable change and create value.
