Introduction

The postgraduate course Entrepreneurship was launched in 2000 as a result of the desire and need to build a non-traditional academic program, which, combining theory and practice, will attract young enterprising people and help them train for personal entrepreneurial activities and the development of the entrepreneurial economy. The program of this study is based on MBA programs at business schools in Europe and the USA, with an emphasis on a holistic approach and the development of entrepreneurial competencies of individuals (proactivity, innovation and responsibility/taking risks). The postgraduate university study Entrepreneurship is intended for those who want to acquire new knowledge and skills necessary to deal with global changes in the environment, and for starting and managing business ventures, for those who want to improve their entrepreneurial potential, be proactive and creative team players, develop business contacts and/or want to start their own business. Upon completion of the studies, the student acquires competencies for solving problems, accepting changes and proactively acting in all situations and contexts (small and medium-sized enterprises, large enterprises, non-profit organizations, public sector, state enterprises) and in all activities and sectors (agriculture, manufacturing industry, banking, tourism, construction, etc.)
