This exciting MSc, Master of Business Management, specialised in Entrepreneurship & Innovation challenges students to study at a high academic standard, combining case studies and research. However, the degree programme also has a practical approach in its design - through project weeks, professional enquiry and a module of professional-based learning in which students complete a short work placement often linked directly to their final project.

The programme offers a combination master of business administration subjects and broader modules in economics and management. Through modules looking at global economics and strategic management, globalisation, society & culture the programme will enable students to further develop their deeper knowledge of business management and administration.

Programme Overview:

Within the course, students gain balanced modules focused on entrepreneurship & innovation that enable a critical look at the role entrepreneurs have within society and the economy.

In a fast changing world, where old ways of doing business and managing organisations have made way for new concepts, entrepreneurship & innovation-specialised students will also consider aspects such as ‘Venture Capital & Private Equity’ and ‘Corporate Sustainability’.

Career Prospects:

Graduating from a highly international institute such as Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences (WUAS), that places great emphasis on a combination of academic research and company and professional exposure, means that the career prospects of graduates from the Master of Business Management, specialised in Entrepreneurship & Innovation are multiple and global.

Often WUAS graduates aspire to continue their studies, with a DBA or a PhD research degree; however, many students move directly into business, sometimes as a result of their work placement, and their final project, which is often company based.

Examples of companies where alumni work range from leading global companies in banking, consultancy and insurance to more specialised, local companies, NGOs or government agencies in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Western Europe.

Wittenborg sees the possible professions of a graduate from the Master of Business Management specialised in Entrepreneurship & Innovation in four inter-related sections, between which there is often a natural overlap:

The (Serial) Entrepreneur

This is seen as someone who is committed to starting businesses and companies from scratch and making them a success.

The Independent Self-Employed Business Person

This is seen as a person who directs and manages a company, an SME. This could be the owner of a family-driven business, or a business person who buys and takes over an existing business. This can also be an entrepreneur who has started a business through innovation and remains directing and managing that company, without selling or leaving to start a new venture.

The second in command in an SME

This extremely important entrepreneur is the most common non-executive entrepreneur in small business. An entrepreneur as the number 2 in an SME is a vital position as it enables the company to develop in an innovative and goal-orientated manner, with a careful balance of risks and opportunities. This kind of intrapreneur is someone who has had experience of business or project start-ups and project management, and has now reached the moment where the experience and knowledge gained can be used to support another entrepreneur.

The Corporate ‘Intrapreneur’

This entrepreneurial role is becoming increasingly important within companies and organisations, as well as non-profit and governmental organisations, as they are forced to change, develop and innovate in the modern economy and business environment. Corporations require entrepreneurial business leaders who alongside their leadership qualities have a broad range of business skills and competencies and business administration knowledge.
