Dual Degree in MBA + Innovation & Entrepreneurship

General management excellence. Entrepreneurship specialisation. A two-year competitive advantage.

Dual-Degree_Leadership-Business

Overview

A Dual Degree that combines the strategic breadth of a Full-Time MBA with a focused specialisation in Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Designed for candidates who want both the credibility of a general management qualification and the competitive depth of a specialist master — in a single, coherent two-year journey.

The Full-Time MBA’s AI-powered curriculum covers all core business disciplines — strategy, finance, marketing, operations and leadership. The Master in Innovation & Entrepreneurship then develops vertical expertise, taking the specialisation from MBA-level awareness to genuine mastery. The two programmes are coherent by design: Year 2 goes further, not sideways.
