For the past two decades, the world has undergone an unprecedented technological revolution which has influenced almost every aspect of the way we live, work and do business. Startups – the small, innovative companies which creatively disrupt existing services and products – have played a key role in shaping this revolution, along with the new knowledge, theories and practices required to support this new ecosystem.

The Hebrew University Business School has designed its international StartUp 360° MBA to give students the knowledge and skills required to successfully adapt to the ever-evolving startup ecosystem.

Here in Israel, itself a hub of innovation and home to a booming hi-tech and start-up scene, our students gain far more than they ever could through classroom learning alone; value-added elements of the international StartUp 360° MBA program include professional internships with leading Israeli VCs and startups, learning from and networking with internationally acclaimed experts, and taking part in real investment processes using tangible money.

We believe that learning about the startup ecosystem from multiple points of view is crucial for entrepreneurs, founders-to-be, potential investors, and any other person who wishes to be part of the startup world. Therefore, unlike other programs which focus on how to build a new startup, our international StartUp 360° MBA focuses on the following three key aspects: entrepreneurs, investors and the startup environment. 

Taught by experts in their field with cutting-edge academic knowledge, the program covers subjects such as:

The program’s credits are taken over three consecutive semesters: fall, spring and summer. The program includes a professional internship and the summer semester, the Transdisciplinary Innovation Program (TIP) taking place in the last semester. By the end of this fully immersive eleven-month MBA program, you will not only have acquired the building blocks; you will have undergone an internship and even pitched your ideas to the venture capital community.
