Our double Master program combines the strong business and management skills from the Executive MBA with the entrepreneurial mindset that underpins innovation and disruption synonymous with our Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

The 16 units that comprise the double degree will show you the expertise and experiential learning on offer in Swinburne's Australian Graduate School of Entrepreneurship – the first dedicated entrepreneurship school in the nation.

Our industry partners ensure that both degrees reflect the best, contemporary business practice. You will explore entrepreneurs' successes, inspiring and diverse stories, resilience in the face of failure and authentic challenges. The partners also enrich learning with site visits, networking opportunities and mentoring of applied projects.

Depending on prior learning and experience, you can complete the double Master degrees in two years. We have four intakes annually, so you can start studying soon.
