This hands-on experience provides invaluable insights into the entrepreneurial process and is something you can’t replicate in a traditional classroom setting."

What do you think of the teaching style in Sweden?

This hands-on approach has helped me better understand the entrepreneurial process."

What are the potential benefits or differences in doing a one-year Master’s programme? 

"Being in a one-year Master's is effective and efficient. It’s fast-paced and intensive, allowing you to learn a lot in a short time. It is an excellent choice if you want to fast-track your career or further studies. Of course, this also means that a level of dedication is required and strong time-management skills due to the higher workload."
