Master Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The Master Innovation and Entrepreneurship at MBS is a full-time, English-taught program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills to develop innovative ideas, create startups, and drive entrepreneurial initiatives within established organizations. The program has a duration of 18 months (three semesters) for the single degree or 24 months for a dual degree option, leading to a Master of Arts (M.A.).

The curriculum combines advanced business knowledge with a strong focus on innovation management, entrepreneurial thinking, and real-world application. Core modules cover areas such as business model development, ideation and prototyping, scaling startups, and innovation strategy. Throughout the program, students work in small, interactive groups, fostering close collaboration and personalized learning.

A central element of the program is its hands-on approach. Students participate in a two-semester business project, working in teams on real challenges for companies, startups, or organizations within the innovation ecosystem. In addition, students have the opportunity to develop their own business ideas through a startup project in the third semester, supported by coaching from experienced faculty.

The program also includes an international component, offering students the option to spend a semester abroad at one of MBS’s global partner universities or to pursue an internship. This combination of international exposure and practical experience ensures that graduates develop both a global mindset and strong entrepreneurial capabilities.

With its focus on innovation, real-world problem solving, and close collaboration with industry, the Master Innovation and Entrepreneurship prepares graduates for careers as founders, innovation managers, consultants, or leaders in dynamic and forward-looking business environments.
