Laurea magistrale in Imprenditorialità e Innovazione

The English-taught Master programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano gives students a unique combination of in-depth theoretical knowledge and authentic learning experience on entrepreneurship and innovation.

Creating a new venture or managing innovation processes in existing companies requires a particular mindset, where problems are opportunities, knowledge is continuously enhancing, and learning essentially means the ability to learn how to learn, from a problem-solving perspective. This is what we call entrepreneurial logic. Complexity and uncertainty cannot be controlled or eliminated, but they can be understood and managed.

Career opportunities

Our graduates can start new ventures. In the last years, our students and alumni co-founded more than 15 new companies. Alternatively, our graduates are hired by innovative firms, by consulting firms, or eventually join their family business.

Graduates express a convinced satisfaction with this study program, and the large majority of them say they would re-enroll in the same degree program again.

The study plan is structured into four semesters and consists of 16 courses plus the final master thesis.

The first semester consists of only mandatory courses to set up a common ground. The semester starts with an introductory session to the BITZ unibz fablab. Growth mindset is a mind-breaking course that takes you to approach problems through complementary perspectives: network thinking, algorithmic thinking, and design thinking. While developing skills in modeling, coding, and prototyping, you’ll acquire new ways of thinking and reflecting on problems and solutions. Foundations of entrepreneurship provides a sound understanding of entrepreneurial logic and how to create value for customers and stakeholders.

At the beginning of the second semester, you choose the stream that better fits your aspirations and goals:

• Entrepreneurship is the stream for the students aiming at founding a new venture, while
• Innovation and Management is the stream for those students who aspire to work and make an impact in innovative firms.

In the fourth semester students attend a project-based course to further develop their new venture (Project LAB – Startup) or to take part in a real project of open innovation with selected business partners (Project LAB – Corporate Innovation). Finally, the master thesis is an original study that gives you the opportunity to develop and apply research skills to acquire in-depth expertise in a specific topic you choose.

Every year we organize a field trip to observe and study an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Students visited Silicon Valley, Lisbon, Berlin, Tallin, New York, Iceland, Oslo, Toulouse, etc.
