Get an entrepreneurial mindset and shape your own future. This master's programme gives you the knowledge and skills you need to start your own company, or to work with innovation in existing businesses.

You will develop an entrepreneurial mindset, paired with the analytical and digital skills to spot opportunities, assess and scale them, and create sustainable value.
