Selecting a master program is not necessarily a simple choice. Will it lead to the job and career you want? Is there a demand for this competence in the market? In the following we present 3 reasons for why we believe Shift is a good choice.
- Because you get to make a difference
We can all agree that we need to make a change towards a more sustainable world. We need to change the way we produce, consume, and dispose in order to do something about climate changes and social differences. At Shift we believe in entrepreneurship as a tool to make positive changes through cooperation and responsible innovation. By taking the Shift program you learn how to spot and realize the business opportunities inherent in this change, and thus making a positive contribution to society.
- Because you get practical experience
At Shift we combine theory and practice in every course. You get to cooperate with actual businesses, work on real-life business problems, and most importantly: you start your own business – not for fun, FOR REAL. After two years at Shift you are thus left with a valuable network, invaluable experience from the startup process, AND a degree (including a siviløkonom/sivilingeniør title if you come in with bachelor’s in business or engineering). Finally, you also graduate as the founder of a company, that you can choose to keep working in if you want to continue the entrepreneurial journey.
- Because you get degree that enables you to combine your competencies with your interests
The skills you gain as a student at Shift is not industry specific. Rather, you can use your competency to innovate, commercialize, and make changes across industries. Regardless of whether you want to work in your own startup, or be employed by a larger organization, and whatever you are interested in – be it technology, fashion, fishing or music – you can build a career that aligns with your interests.
