The best MiM programs in Europe for entrepreneurship & innovation.
19 European Master in Management programs that offer an entrepreneurship, innovation or venture-building specialisation — ranked by Financial Times standing. Every school links through to its full fees, salary and deadline data.
For a lot of MiM applicants the goal isn’t a graduate scheme — it’s building something. A Master in Management with an entrepreneurship or innovation track is one of the most useful routes in: you get the broad management foundation a founder actually needs — finance, strategy, marketing, operations — with the venture-building electives, incubators and founder networks layered on top.
Europe is a genuinely strong place to study it. The continent has a deep startup ecosystem — Paris, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Milan, Barcelona — and the schools below have built entrepreneurship, innovation and venture-creation tracks, incubators and pitch competitions into the MiM. These are Master in Management degrees that offer an entrepreneurship-related track, major or concentration — not stand-alone MSc Entrepreneurship degrees. You get a generalist management base plus an entrepreneurial lens, which is exactly what suits people who might found a company, join an early-stage startup, or take an innovation / VC role and want to keep their options open. Each program is ranked by its Financial Times standing, with the specific specialisation it lists. As always, tracks and labs change each cycle, so confirm the current offering on the school’s own page before you apply.
