The Strategic Entrepreneurship programme develops students’ competence to both launch start-up companies as well as pursue entrepreneurial opportunities within existing organisations. The education covers both new venture creation and business renewal, using state-of-the-art research and practical experiences. Students become acquainted with the Swedish business landscape and have the opportunity to develop their own business ventures in close collaboration with Jönköping’s Science Park.

Graduates are prepared for a wide range of careers, including business owner/manager, entrepreneur, business developer, project leader and change manager. The second year offers plenty of specialisation options, studying abroad or elective courses, which includes internship opportunities overseas.

All courses are conducted in English and the programme is open to students from all over the world. The international atmosphere contributes to a broad perspective on the issues discussed during classes.
