Are you curious about starting a career as an entrepreneur in the innovative technology sphere?
We are ready to teach you how to think and act like an innovative entrepreneur or how to be an intrapreneur in hightechnology ventures!
Seeing that a great number of new technologies is emerging and our environment is constantly changing, leading to uncertainty, there is a huge need for people with entrepreneurial skills who can cope with these challenges. Companies are
looking for employees who are able to generate new ideas, are ready to learn fast and to adapt easily to rapid changes.
This program gives you the unique opportunity to start and develop your own business during your studies with the support of the best experts in technology entrepreneurship. If you choose not to pursue your own project, you have the option
to learn how to be an intrapreneur and to work within an already existing business.
The first semester is a broad view on what you will do during your master. Firstly, we provide some courses for personal development. You will learn how to be a leader and find your own way in the world. Every educational module is a reflection
of studying the philosophy “Learning by doing” with a focus on practical skills. All students will get a possibility to work in a team on a real project to present it at the end of the semester.
Starting from the second semester the program is divided into 2 tracks: Entrepreneurship (tech) and Intrapreneurship and digital transformation. Now you may continue working on your own idea or start learning about intrapreneurship. During
the whole semester students from Track 2 will have an internship in the already existing project. Students from Track 1 will work on their own projects.
Running into the third semester you have to make a decision which track is more appealing for you. Both tracks are focused on co-creation education. You continue working on your business project or developing existing project. All students will
gain cross-cultural skills and learn how to make their business successful in the global market.
From the last semester you can select the other track – Entrepreneurship research. It is designed for students who are interested in scientific research of entrepreneurship. Thereby your master thesis can be a business plan of your venture,
a consultancy plan for a company or research work on Technology Entrepreneurship.
Throughout 2 years you’ll work with your team on developing your own new business idea with the help of the start-up accelerator. Experienced coaches and mentors will help and challenge you on the way to make a successful career.
