LUND UNIVERSITY | SWEDEN | SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT
Master’s Programme in
Entrepreneurship, New Venture Creation
Programme overview
Individuals with entrepreneurial skills are of vast impor-
tance in a society characterised by increasing uncertainty
and rapid change. Entrepreneurial skills enable the success-
ful discovery and exploitation of opportunities in the mar-
ket as well as driving innovation and business development
projects in existing corporations. The Master’s programme
in Entrepreneurship is divided into two tracks: Corporate En-
trepreneurship and Innovation and New Venture Creation.
Both tracks lead to an MSc in Entrepreneurship.
New Venture Creation
In the New Venture Creation track you will learn how to cre-
ate, develop and exploit business opportunities by starting
up and managing new ventures. This track offers you an
opportunity to be fully involved as an entrepreneur in the
start-up process, from idea selection and team composition
to venture formation, which enables you to gain real experi-
ence in starting up a new business.
To support your entrepreneurial actions the programme
provides a number of guest lecturers who are experts in
different areas related to new venture creation. In addition,
you will be part of our mentorship programme where you
as a student are matched with an experienced mentor who
supports you to advance in your entrepreneurial career.
Our pedagogical view is that entrepreneurship is best
learnt through experience-based actions, which means
that you need practice to learn. However, you also need to
re?ect on your practice, and learn from available theories
in the ?eld. This is why you will ?nd our programme in en-
trepreneurship to embrace action – without compromising
the valuable learning that comes from theory.
