Need choices please for Master's in Entrepreneurship. Online or Full-time?

A

Greetings everyone!

It's a pleasure to be here on the forum!

I'm asking for advice regarding my Master's Degree choices. I'm aiming to do a Master's in Innovation and Entrepreneurship rather than an MBA, as it suits my career choices better. I'm targeting top universities/business schools in Europe. Due to my age (32), some business schools said that I don't fit the age criteria, but others welcomed my application, like Cambridge Judge Business School, HEC Paris, USC Marshall, Lund University in Sweden, EDHEC and Grenoble Ecole de Management in France. I would have loved to study again in the US, but due to budget constraints, I can't afford that at the moment.

I got accepted in the HEC Paris program, but the program is taught online on Coursera and I'm an avid learner and supporter of online/blended learning. However, I also don't want to miss the full university experience, so I applied and got accepted in Lund University - School of Economics and Management in Sweden, and got shortlisted for a scholarship there.

The question is should I go with part-time online study with HEC Paris, or should I go with the full-time experience at Lund as it'll be a better, multifaceted learning experience?

I'm currently an entrepreneur, managing and running our family business in my home country, and would definitely love to do it part-time to stay on the top of the business. However, it'll be arduous to study and run the business at the same time, and I also don't want to miss the full university experience of networking, interacting with professors and classmates, social activities...etc

So please let me know what you think? Should I do it online at a prestigious business school like HEC Paris? Or full-time at Lund University with an opportunity for a scholarship?

Also, do you have other programs that fit me better that I can apply to?

Many thanks in advance!
