Introduction

The postgraduate study program in Entrepreneurship was launched in 2000 as a result of the desire and need to build a non-traditional academic program that would, by combining theory and practice, attract young enterprising people and help them train for personal entrepreneurial activity and for 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/risk-taking).

The postgraduate university study program in Entrepreneurship is intended for those who want to acquire new knowledge and skills necessary to cope with global changes in the environment, and to launch and manage 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. The knowledge and skills acquired in the postgraduate university specialist study program in Entrepreneurship enable the development of entrepreneurial capacity at the individual level (proactive attitude towards change, creative and innovative behavior in identifying problems and seeking solutions), and thus contribute to the strengthening of institutional entrepreneurial capacity and competitiveness.
