Program description
A double degree program that integrates business, entrepreneurship, design, and social sciences with sustainability is called the Master in Entrepreneurship and Design for Sustainability. POLI.design and SKEMA Business School collaborate to offer the course.
Thanks to its several campuses and widespread relationships, SKEMA is a highly regarded business school in France that enjoys recognition on a global scale. The business school at Politecnico di Milano, POLIMI Graduate School of Management, has been granted the coveted "triple crown" by receiving accreditations from the three most esteemed worldwide organizations (AACSB, AMBA, and EFMD). The heart and spirit of Politecnico di Milano's design program is POLI.design, whose courses are highly regarded globally.
An entrepreneurial mindset that views sustainability as an opportunity rather than a challenge is fostered by the Master of Entrepreneurship and Design for Sustainability program. Using design principles, this Master teaches students how to develop, produce, and introduce new ideas. More significantly, though, is that students enrolled in this program will also learn the processes and resources needed to come up with ideas and turn them into new ventures or businesses that will balance profit and environmental preservation.
