Why pursue the MSc in Global Innovation & Entrepreneurship?
Develop the expertise and mindset to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in a global context.
In Finland, I took part in entrepreneurship societies which organized workshops and ran Startup Weekends, intensive events where we worked in teams to create a company from scratch, often under tight deadlines, and even started generating revenue in the process. Also of great value were the opportunities we had to visit business incubators, research funding centers and the health test lab of the university during our time there.
