Courses

Entrepreneurship education is the heart of MC4E. We believe that anyone can be an entrepreneur. It starts with the ambition to act on opportunities. We provide opportunities to learn.

Across all faculties and study programmes, we help students to upgrade their entrepreneurial skills and competencies. We provide a launch platform to those who actually want to start their own business during or after their studies.

 

Entrepreneurship research as input to relevant education

Maastricht University is a research university. This implies that all our teaching is rooted in scholarly research. Entrepreneurship and enterprising behavior are researched from a host of disciplinary perspectives. The graduate and executive entrepreneurship programmes of top universities such as MIT, UPenn and Harvard have proven that scholarly insight is an indispensible input to valuable entrepreneurship education.

Maastricht University, also, has a heritage in researching entrepreneurship. Our Centre will leverage that research to outstanding education that allows you to learn and develop. Most entrepreneurship research is concentrated in the Organization and Strategy department of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. However, also the Law school has produced valuable research, in particular on IP issues of biotech firms.

In the coming years, the MC4E is to encourage other faculty to explore additional research tracks. For example, by organizing research seminars that showcase legal, psychological, marketing or finance research that is relevant to our understanding of entrepreneurship. Obviously, we will stay keen to deploy the outcomes of such research in our courses, programmes, and workshops.
