Global School for Entrepreneurship

Global School for Entrepreneurship is the former name behind what is now promoted as Unknown University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. The institution focuses on entrepreneurship education and awards an accredited Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship & Innovation through Global School for Entrepreneurship BV, the legal entity that holds the higher education recognition.

For students planning the September 2026 intake, this option is most relevant if you want a private, applied university route where you build a business while studying. The current bachelor programme is based at Unknown Campus - Titaan in The Hague's innovation hub rather than a traditional broad university campus.

Why It Can Be A Good Fit

This institution is built for students who want to become founders, social entrepreneurs, family-business successors or innovation-focused professionals. Instead of studying entrepreneurship as one subject inside a larger business degree, students work on business ideas throughout the programme and use classes, coaching and incubator time to test those ideas.

The Hague location is useful because students study inside an innovation-campus environment with start-ups, scale-ups and impact-focused companies around them. This can suit students who learn better through projects, customer validation, pitching, feedback and real business practice.

This environment can be exciting, but it also requires maturity. Students should be ready to test ideas, speak to customers, receive direct feedback and manage their own business progress alongside academic requirements.

Strong Study Areas

Entrepreneurship And Innovation

The main academic focus is entrepreneurship and innovation. Students work on business ideas, validation, product-market fit, value creation, growth, sales, finance, leadership and scaling.

Start-Up Building

The programme can suit students who already have a business idea or want to launch one during study. The curriculum is designed so students apply lessons directly to their own venture.

Social And Impact Entrepreneurship

The Hague ecosystem and Unknown Group positioning make the school relevant for students interested in solving social, sustainability or impact-led problems through business.

Family Business And Intrapreneurship

Not every student needs to become a start-up founder. The programme can also fit students who want to modernise a family business or build innovation skills for future roles inside companies.

Growth And Scaling

Later modules focus on leadership, sales, finance, systems thinking and scaling. This is useful for students who want to move beyond the idea stage and understand how businesses grow.
