This master’s degreeis for you if:

— You recently graduated with aBachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Management or Engineering

— You are a young professional

— You would like to shift your careertowards setting up a new business or developing a new concept or business area within a specific company

— You would like to specialise in venturecapital, private equity, transaction services or corporate finance

This university master’s degree will provide the knowledge and

experience you need to promote entrepreneurship, with a special

emphasis on funding as the key issue. Within the current

macroeconomic climate, given the lack of existing credit, venture

capital and private equity have become increasingly popular

funding alternatives for companies in their own right. Barcelona

shines in this regard, as it is home to numerous organisations that

specialise in venture capital, private equity and corporate finance,

which provide support for and fund the development of new

companies. Barcelona is now looked at in the same way Silicon

Valley was in the United States at one time. At UIC Barcelona,

we aim to promote an entrepreneurial spirit and the creation

of companies in our society, which is why we offer you the best

education in this field.
