If you are interested in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), want to know what drives entrepreneurs, or if entrepreneurial blood flows through your veins, then SB&E is the right Master´s degree for you. We also assume that you are interested in the full scope of the field.
Even if you are not sure yet if you want to work for a small company, this is the Master´s degree to follow. By choosing certain optional modules, you yourself decide what emphasis to lay. Compared with other profiles, SB&E offers far more options.
One important characteristic of this Master's degree is that attention is not only paid to the crucial theory, but also to personal (entrepreneurial) skills and their implementation in practice. This is particularly important in the Entrepreneurial Skills module, which includes an extensive practical assignment.
After finishing this Master´s degree, you will be familiar with theories that have particular relevance for SMEs. You will be able to apply business science and business economics knowledge to this sector. You will learn that entrepreneurship is a process of (strategic) thinking, planning and implementation. Entrepreneurs can hire in an advisor, who may well have followed this Master´s degree.
Once you have graduated, you will have skills that are important in the business and advice fields.
