Mestrado em Empreendedorismo Global, Economia e Gestão (GEEM)

The master's program in Global Entrepreneurship, Economics, and Management (GEEM) aims at providing wanna-be managers, entrepreneurs, and analysts with in-depth skills in management, innovation, internationalization, and economics.

Globalization and innovation are the dominant traits in the current market scenario. In this respect, GEEM provides students with a unique mix of managerial and economic competencies and skills.

Job opportunities might be found in large and multinational companies, SMEs, startups, and international/transnational/domestic/regional economic organizations. During the two-year program, students will have frequent in-depth interactions with executives and managers from different companies and organizations, through workshops, laboratories, and stages.

The program is articulated in two curricula:

• International Business and Entrepreneurship (IBE), tailored to international management and entrepreneurship.
• Economics of innovation (EI), focused on applied economics.

The course also offers the opportunity of double degrees and student exchange programs. In particular, the GEEM is characterized by:

• A double degree program with the University of Jena, Germany
• A double degree program with the University of Hohenheim, Germany
• A double degree program with the Fulda University of Applied Sciences, Germany
• A student exchange with the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), India
