Welcome to your MSc Strategic Entrepreneurship (SE)
We'll kick off the program with a week full of inspirational experiences and great and many opportunities to get to know your fellow MSc SE students.
Throughout the week, we will explore Strategic Entrepreneurship and how it links to RSM's Mission to be a force for positive change in the world. We will start your learning journey beyond the classroom with visits to Rotterdam and Delft's most inspiring entrepreneurial places. We will have interactive games, alumni meetups, creative challenges, and plenty of time to rethink your ambitions.
This week is all about building connections, with your classmates, Strategic Entrepreneurship and yourself. By the end of the week, you'll not only have met your new cohort and faculty, but you will also have started developing the entrepreneurial mindset that will guide you in the rest of your life!
Be prepared to collaborate, explore, reflect, and have fun. We can't wait to welcome you and start this journey together!
