Career Opportunities
With a Bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship, you’ll have a wide range of opportunities to choose from and many different avenues for starting your professional career. You can be your own boss, and use all the knowledge you developed to start your own business and attract investors. Or you can join a company looking for skilled professionals with a strong understanding of business operations, managerial skills and a disruptive approach to growth – with the added bonus of an internationally recognised degree, signalling you as someone who can comfortably lead diverse, multi-cultural teams.
Founder / CEO
Take big chances, reap big rewards: as a founder/CEO, you’ll turn business ideas and dreams into reality, and then decide on how to grow, adapt and manage them. With the help of the business knowledge, management skills and technological know-how you’ll develop in your BA studies, you’ll be ready to take on the many challenges of starting and running your own company.
Product Owner
Own all responsibilities regarding the launch, implementation and performance of a new product or service. You’ll need to have a strong understanding of the field in which the business operates in, what the competitors offer, and how to increase value both from the product itself and from the work of the product team.
Combine entrepreneurial work process, digitalisation and people management, and beat the competition regardless of industry.
Innovation Manager
Similar to change managers, innovation managers are responsible for instigating, planning and executing change within companies. The main difference, however, is that innovation managers are more focused on digital transformation and the implementation of advanced technologies into a more traditional work environment.
You’ll have to work well with others and feel comfortable around sophisticated technological tools, but if you are, you’ll be able to provide significant financial improvements, and quickly become an in-demand professional.
