Master of Science in Technology Entrepreneurship

Master of Science in Technology Entrepreneurship is one of 8 English-taught Entrepreneurship programmes at Master's Degree level in the register, offered by 7 institutions. 7 of them list an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, from EUR 5,000 to EUR 9,000. 3 are recorded as free for EU, EEA and Swiss students.

The MSc in Technology Entrepreneurship at DTU sits between a university and a start-up incubator. You build a venture while you study: a team, a technology, and a start-up, over two years. The degree is a Master of Science (MSc) in Technology Entrepreneurship, with the Danish title cand.tech.

What you study

From the start you work with creating and testing ideas, either your own or ones based on technologies from DTU research or industry. Academic knowledge is introduced as your venture needs it, whether in technology, market understanding, or financing. You learn to identify and evaluate opportunities, build strong teams, and handle uncertainty as you move from early concepts to a validated business.

You choose one of four specialisations to deepen your expertise and strengthen your contribution to the venture project:

• Technology
• Design
• Management
• Sustainability

Pick the one that fits your entrepreneurial interests, your academic background, and your career ambitions.

How the programme is organised

The setup is hands-on throughout. You work with ideas, technologies, and teams to create ventures. The programme provides mentors, coaching, and workspace, plus access to the wider DTU innovation ecosystem and its networks. The commitment and engagement have to come from you.

You can also combine work and study through an Industry Master of Science, an option open in all DTU master's programmes. That route lets you apply your academic knowledge in a real workplace while you earn the degree.

Who it suits

The learning environment brings together students from many academic and professional backgrounds: arts, design, and the social sciences as well as engineering and the natural sciences, and from across the world. That mix mirrors how entrepreneurship actually works and trains you to work across disciplines on complex challenges. It suits someone who wants to build their own business on technology and is ready to put in the effort.

Admission, language and next steps

To be admitted you need a bachelor's degree less than 10 years old from an accredited academic national university, university college, or internationally accredited university, with any specialisation. There are specific prerequisites for Technology Entrepreneurship, so check those before you apply.

The programme is taught in English. There is only a September intake. Non-EU/EEA applicants have a deadline of 15 January, and EU/EEA applicants have a deadline of 01 March. Applications for master's programmes go straight to DTU. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay a fee that the institution sets.

DTU's Study Guidance can answer questions on course planning, credit transfer, and exemptions. The International Admissions Office helps applicants with a bachelor's degree from outside Denmark, and International Student Services supports new students settling in.

Master’s applications go straight to Technical University of Denmark, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, residence permits and housing.
