The challenge

To start up or work when studying, should not be an impossible mission.

Students who work while studying have been risking their grades, job, or health, in trying to combine intense time schedules. We feel they should have the time, knowledge and network to pursue their dreams without compromising their education or well-being.

With the GES Master’s in Start up Creation and Entrepreneurship attend one semester in the United States at Georgetown University and one in Europe, at the University of Genoa. At the end you will obtain an European Master’s.
