Master of Digital Entrepreneurship

["The Master of Digital Entrepreneurship (MoDE)is an innovative study programme providing you with theoretical and methodical knowledge about digitalisation from the perspectives of law, economics, social sciences, and computer sciences. MoDE is offered by the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) – a cross-border, international teaching and research institution with a focus on digitalisation. Based at the German-Polish border, the MoDE is a joint academic project of the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) and the Adam Mickiewicz University Poznań in Poland.The four-semester Master's programmeis completely in English and provides you with an introduction to the fundamentals of digitalisation and practical skills in project management and business. MoDE is a project-based Master's programme designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to successfully work on individual or group projects. With this skill set of theoretical and practical methods, you will be able to develop and reflect on your own entrepreneurial solutions for the challenges of the digital transformation in Europe.You won't have to do it all by yourself:The ENS study concept is based on a close collaboration between students and academic staff in teaching, team-based projects, and everyday working life. A dedicated coworking space, innovative teaching methods and small courses enable students to develop and drive their own projects.As a graduate of the MoDE, you will have a firm foundation in ethics and the know-how to organise, plan and run a business, both for profit and non-profit. You will learn how to analyse markets and to establish an economically sustainable unit that integrates the promises of democracy and human rights with digital technologies.The ideal project for applying for the MoDEis digital, creative and promises to contribute to making the world a better place. It puts you in the driver’s seat of a non-profit, not-for-profit or profit-oriented entrepreneurship. Your project could be a platform offering services, a tool for solving real-world problems, an algorithm fostering fair distribution of a scarce resource, or any other entity that is worth working on. You do not need to have a proper business plan, well-reasoned ideas about your entity’s legal set-up or a team that is capable of implementing it. Although it is no mistake to have thought about these issues (even less so to have answers and to report them), we do not require them. We will help you develop them during your stay at ENS. It is more important for us that you have an innovative entrepreneurial idea and that you believe enough in it to convince us of its merits. We are looking forward to learning from you and to offering our help in realising your ideas."]
