Orientation Entrepreneurship

My specialisation in Entrepreneurship has been nothing but the perfect choice for me. The staff at Fribourg have created a vibrant and forward thinking working atmosphere. And that is the one thing that I enjoyed the most. Entrepreneurship is one of the most relevant disciplines for someone looking to work in the very trendy fields of digitisation and innovation. Generally, the profile of an intrapreneur is very sought after by many large corporates today, as they are struggling to transform their business into the digital age. This specialisation will give you the skills and knowledge you need, to become exactly that.

Dans l'orientation en Entrepreneurship, les enseignants n’enseignent pas, ils partagent. C’est un travail constructif qui s’opère entre consultant et étudiant. La matière qui est présentée est, dans sa grande majorité, immédiatement transposable dans la vraie vie. En Entrepreneurship, il y a pléthore de travaux de groupe avec des entreprises en direct. Ces travaux poussent aussi la formation dans son aspect de gestion des relations humaines et du travail introspectif. C’est dur. C’est intense. Il y a toujours « trop ». Mais c’est bien grâce à cela qu’on avance et qu’on devient meilleur. Je le vois au travail, où les responsabilités et la marge de manœuvre sont grandissantes.

Entrepreneurs are people who are looking at the world with curiosity to solve societal issues in a constant evolution world. Through this bilingual master which is practice oriented, I met extraordinary local and international entrepreneurs who shared their experiences and their world visions. I learned a lot about innovation and how the companies are managing it. I grew my professional network, and I changed my mindset, which became more open to criticism and how to face it. This master gives you the tools and the mindset for becoming an intrapreneur or an entrepreneur. And frankly speaking, this is exactly what all companies are looking for, nowadays. 

The bilingual Master allowed me to build connections with local companies and discover out about innovative startups. The most valuable part is the study trip in the 2nd silicon valley: Boston. Great exchange of knowledge with local students and entrepreneurs from any incubators and accelerators. I learnt about swissnex Boston, where I spent a 6-months internship while writing my Master thesis. I learnt to think big and after my diploma I joined an early-stage (and successful) startup in Zürich.
