VU Master Entrepreneurship

There is increasing recognition of the fact that small and young ventures account for economic growth, and that entrepreneurship can be an important source of innovation. Unique content: The Master’s specialization in Entrepreneurship is unique in its broad interpretation of entrepreneurship (broader than ‘just’ new venture creation); entrepreneurship is something that occurs in many more contexts

and at all levels of society. Academic approach, yet practice-based: Even though the programme is aimed at disseminating and developing academic knowledge, this knowledge is grounded in practice throughout the programme. Most courses are designed around a practical assignment that will help you link theory to actual practice. Broadly embedded: The Master’s specialization in Entrepreneurship has been developed in close association with the prestigious Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship (www.acevu.vu.nl), a platform for entrepreneurs, students and academics. Because of our close contacts with real-world entrepreneurs and the linking of knowledge to practice throughout our courses, this specialization gives you an excellent opportunity to start building your network while working on your Master’s degree.
