In today's globalised and highly uncertain environment, business management is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. Business success depends, to a large extent, on the ability of managers to adequately manage the available resources and this implies the need for professionals capable of facing new challenges, through the acquisition of competencies, skills and attitudes of the entrepreneur (innovation, creativity, decision-making capacity, action orientation...), and who, in short, know how to take advantage of the business opportunities that arise in today's globalised and interdependent markets.

The Master's Degree in SME Management has been designed precisely to respond to this new demand in the professional market: the need to acquire a high degree of specialisation and improve the skills of professionals who are going to develop their professional activity in the business world and, in particular, in the field of SMEs, which make up the majority of the current business fabric.

In this new scenario, there are no single solutions. What is needed is to be prepared to face complex situations and to act quickly. To foster an entrepreneurial and innovative attitude in management that helps to accept change, to coexist with uncertainty and to solve complex problems.

Therefore, the objective of this master's degree is to provide comprehensive training that allows students to approach the most current reality of the global business panorama, providing a global and strategic vision of business activity and equipping them with a wide range of analysis and decision-making tools, mainly through experiential learning.

For all those who wish to start their own business, this master's degree is a good investment and will help them to define and improve their personal projects.

It is also a good investment for people with business potential, who wish to strengthen their leadership skills in order to access different management positions in any of the functional areas of the company, where professionals with these skills are required to face the challenges of the current context.

Admission profile

The Master's Degree in SME Management is aimed at graduates with previous university training, in areas not necessarily related to business activity. The only thing that is required is that they be restless people, tolerant to change and with an open mind, who are interested in directing their future work towards the world of business, and who, in short, seek to prepare themselves and expand their knowledge to add value to a company.

The only requirement is to have an official university degree, which enables access to Master's degrees, and entrepreneurial concerns. If that is your case, this master's degree will help you start your projects.

The master's degree is designed so that our students get the most out of their time in it, both those who have training and/or experience in management-related issues and those who have been trained in areas other than business, and they want to create an SME (a law firm, an analysis laboratory, a language center, etc.) or simply expand their range of professional opportunities by opting for positions not directly related to their previous training.

The contents, approaches and methodologies are aimed at acquiring the most demanded skills and abilities in the environment in which business currently operates, for students with any of the following profiles:

  • People with knowledge and/or professional experience in the business world, who need to complement their training, acquire new tools, criteria and current management methods, to join the market in better conditions or, if they are already active professionals, to choose to positions of greater responsibility.
  • People with training in areas other than business, who need complementary training that qualifies them for professional practice in the business world.

In addition, we promote the participation of foreign students, reserving a quota for students from outside the European Higher Education Area.
