Built for founders, innovators and intrapreneurs.
The 4-year BSc in Innovation & Entrepreneurship trains students to identify opportunities, build ventures, and lead innovation — combining business fundamentals with hands-on startup methodology from Year 1.
Launch & Manage Ventures
Equip students to co-found real enterprises with school funding — from opportunity identification and business planning through launch and scale. Venture creation is embedded in the curriculum, not an extracurricular.
Master Innovation Methodologies
Develop mastery in Lean Startup, Design Thinking, product innovation and market validation — the frameworks that separate ideas from viable businesses.
Build Research & Analytical Skills
Develop critical thinking, data analysis, quantitative reasoning and applied research capabilities — including a peer-reviewed IJABER publication under your own name.
Prepare for Global Leadership
Form professionals ready to lead innovation projects in multinational environments — with intercultural fluency, strategic thinking, and a capstone project demonstrating end-to-end value creation.
"Not a degree about entrepreneurship — a degree that makes you do it."
Start My ApplicationNot a school that teaches entrepreneurship — a school that does it.
PSE is built differently. No simulated case studies. No lecture-only semesters. From your first year, you co-found a real company, publish real research, and build a verified portfolio that employers and investors can check.
Unique to PSE
Co-found a real enterprise — with school funding.
Every BSc student co-founds a real, for-profit enterprise backed by direct PSE financial support and a dedicated mentor. This is not a classroom exercise — it's a registered company you build, launch, and scale as part of your degree. You graduate with equity, revenue experience, and proof of execution.
Publish Under Your Name
Every BSc student publishes a peer-reviewed article in IJABER (ISSN 3077-2273), our international open-access journal. Permanent, citable, indexed — a credential most graduates only earn at Master's level.
