Establish an entrepreneurial career

Innovation and entrepreneurial skills are a must-have for a successful new venture. They're also highly sought-after in existing organizations. Learn how to gain foresight into the future, apply design thinking techniques to explore unmet market needs, and devise business model canvas processes to quickly create viable businesses—or pivot. This is a hands-on program that focuses on launching high-growth ventures by taking on real-world business challenges that are integrated into your entire program.

For the approaching 2025 academic year, our one-year Master’s in Entrepreneurship & Innovation will be run as part of Hult’s Master’s in Management. While the program’s curriculum will remain as rigorous and practical as ever, this change not only serves to raise the visibility of the program globally, it also better reflects the focus of the degree, which is building the skills that are most in demand for tomorrow’s business leaders—at management level and beyond.
