Master Business Administration: Specialization in Entrepreneurship
Welcome to the world of entrepreneuring!
The word ‘entrepreneur’ comes from the French word ‘entreprendre’, which means ‘to do something’, and was originally used in the Middle Ages to describe ‘a person who is active, who gets things done’. At VU University Amsterdam we employ a broad, nuanced and diversified approach to entrepreneurship. The traditional conception of an entrepreneur as the self-made man or woman who has spotted a gap in the market, started a business and turned it into a large and going concern is not the only possibility. In our programme we discern and include multiple ‘categories’ of entrepreneurship.
After having successfully completed this programme you will have a profound knowledge of the world of entrepreneuring and you will have further developed your entrepreneurial competences. Students in this Master’s specialization become:
- Founders/owners of their own companies
- Enterprising in their behaviour: taking proactive, innovative and bold action
- Social entrepreneurs: solving societal problems and initiating social change
- ‘Intrapreneurs’
- Managers aiming to create an entrepreneurial culture
- Consultants specializing in advising entrepreneurs
At this website you can read what current students say about the programme and several teachers are introducing themselves to you.
This Master’s specialization is part of the VU Master of Business Administration programme of the Faculty of Economics and Business (MSc programme).
