During the Master Entrepreneurship I’ve learned how to identify and define real-life problems. I’ve learned to create commercial solutions that solve these problems.

Part of the curriculum was to help a real existing startup with identifying new markets, build a startup on our own, and learning how to create spin-offs within larger corporations.

As part of the master, I’ve done an internship at a digital agency. The goal of the internship was to identify opportunities in the field of sustainability. I’ve suggested how the technologies of the digital agency could help its clients to become environmentally sustainable.

The 3-year program taught me everything ranging from strategy, finance, marketing, innovation, digital leadership, and process optimization.

With a specialization in management in the digital age, I’ve learned how to translate business challenges into digital solutions.

A five-month study program abroad. Studying abroad taught me how to adapt in unfamiliar environments. I’ve followed four courses and finished all successfully.
