About MSSc in Organisational Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Why study MSSc OIE?
To like and do well in the programme MSSc OIE you should be interested in:
“ Ask as many questions as you can. The professors know that the topics are complex and there is no shame in asking in class. ” Miranda, MSSc OIE
What is entrepreneurship really about?
Entrepreneurship is more than starting a business. It is about spotting opportunities, thinking creatively and imagining futures that do not yet exist. The OIE programme focuses on how to design and manage entrepreneurship and innovation inside different types of organisations – from start-ups to established companies.
Turning ideas into reality
At OIE, we see entrepreneurship and innovation as core elements of creativity – the ability to turn imagination into something real. Organisations are where ideas come to life. They are the spaces where people act, collaborate and shape the future together.
Learn by doing – and reflecting
You will learn in a hands-on, studio-based setting where you work with real cases, explore different tools and reflect on your role in driving innovation. By combining theory, practice and personal insights, you will develop the ability to understand and shape how organisations innovate and grow.
Build skills to create change
You will grow your entrepreneurial mindset, understand the diversity of what entrepreneurship looks like in different contexts, and lead others in turning new ideas into new ways of working. You will strengthen your problem-solving abilities and learn how to create both economic and social value in a constantly changing world.
“ I chose MSSc OIE because with a BSc degree in Business administration I was looking for a collaborative and creative environment to dive deeper into innovation management. ” Dominik, MSSc OIE
Explore entrepreneurship on every level
OIE dives into how innovation and entrepreneurship happen in society, organisations and in individual actions. You will learn to work with change and understand how new ideas can play a role in shaping a more sustainable future.
Build tools for real-world impact
You will design and test business models, develop sustainable solutions and learn how to lead innovation – whether in a start-up or an established organisation.
Innovation, not imitation
At OIE, we focus on original thinking. We are interested in ideas that break new ground – not copycats. You will learn how to challenge business-as-usual and create value in new ways.

Options
Electives
On the 3rd semester, you can choose to study courses of your specific interest. CBS offers a large number of electives within a wide range of topics. You can also choose to take electives at other Danish universities. The electives you choose have to be relevant for your programme.
See the current selection of CBS electives on Single courses and electives - Master
Minor
On the 3rd semester, you can also choose to study a so-called minor. A minor is a package of electives within a specific academic area. Typically, it consists of 3 courses. By taking a minor, you strengthen your competences within a specific area of interest, and you can use it to qualify for specific jobs or industries.
See the current selection of CBS minors on Minors
Exchange
Many students choose to go on exchange on their 3rd semester; usually at one of CBS’ more than 300 partner universities. When you go on exchange through CBS, you do not have to pay for the teaching at the foreign university (with a few exceptions), and you can bring your SU (student grant).
Find a list of all CBS partner universities here
Academic internship
You can choose to replace some of your electives with a so-called academic internship. The academic internship consists of an internship period at a company, which is then completed with a project report. You can do the internship at a company in Denmark or abroad.
When doing an internship you get the opportunity to relate theory to practice and reflect on the academic training you receive at CBS in a practical setting. Therefore, the project report and work assignments during your internship have to be relevant to your study programme.
Master's thesis
Your 2nd year is completed with a master's thesis. You choose the topic you want to write about, which allows you to focus on a specific topic of your interest. Typically, you write your master's thesis with a fellow student.
“ The opportunity to discuss real cases with a class full of proactive, open and creative individuals makes OIE the right master’s programme for me. ” Dominik, MSSc OIE

Time consumption
You should know that it is demanding to study in a graduate programme, and both the curriculum and workload is significantly higher than at bachelor level.
If you are studying on a full-time graduate programme, you should expect spending approximately 37 hours on average on your studies each week. The workload will vary during the year.
The time leading up to assignment submissions and exams can be hectic, and you can easily work more than 40 hours a week in this period. Preparing for oral exams can be especially time consuming, because you have to be able to explain and discuss the covered concepts and theories and learn things by heart.

An advance assessment shows whether the obligatory courses in your bachelor programme fulfil the academic requirements for a master programme at CBS.
We typically prepare an advance assessment when many applicants from the same bachelor programme apply for the same master programme.
You can find them by clicking on the tabs above.
Missing courses?
If you are missing courses, you may be able to fulfil the requirements through relevant elective courses or supplementary courses.

Make a self-assessment
What is a self-assessment?
If there is no advance assessment available for your bachelor’s degree, you can make a so-called self-assessment of your educational background.
If there is an advance assessment of your bachelor degree showing that you are missing certain academic areas to fulfil the academic requirements, you can also use the self-assessment to show how you fulfil the missing academic areas.
Your self-assessment is not binding for us, but it can help you prepare your application and give us a better overview of your educational background.
How to make a self-assessment
Start by listing all the undergraduate courses you have taken, or are going to take, as part of your bachelor's degree or in addition to it, and compare them to the programme's academic requirements.
Read your course titles and descriptions carefully. Try to categorise the courses according to the master programme’s academic requirements.
To get an idea of how we assess each course category, you can use the course catalogue to see how we have categorised different CBS elective courses or CBS Summer University courses within each category.
Use the self-assessment form
We have created a form you can use for your self-assessment. The form is a tool to help you match your courses with the academic entry requirements for the programme and see to what extent you fulfil them.
Remember to include
- Courses you have already passed
- Courses you are currently taking
- Courses you expect to pass (e.g. supplementary courses at summer university)
