Program Overview

MSc Entrepreneurship & AI Ventures

Build and scale AI ventures with lean validation, investor narratives, and global employer network access.

Unlike traditional masters that treat AI as an elective, PRAKTIX weaves AI into EVERY module — sector-specific application labs, Only Experts content, interactive gamified learning paths, and connections to PRAKTIX's global employer network.

This 24-month program (120 ECTS) spans 4 semesters with 8–10 modules, a research thesis, and a sector capstone project. Learn from practitioner faculty who ship AI in production — not theory alone. Choose standard, interactive (gamified), or hybrid learning modes.

PRAKTIX MSc pricing is ~10% below comparable European online masters (benchmark €15,000/year programs → PRAKTIX €13,500 total).
