Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management is designed to give students a focused, relevant and utilisable body of knowledge in entrepreneurship and innovation management, suitable for people with an interest in starting and managing innovative projects either within existing structures or by realizing new economic endeavors.
As parts of this, the programme will give the participants:
