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.
