Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship (MSc)

at Cardiff University

The MSc in Business Strategy & Entrepreneurship consists of taught components, directed reading, assignments, practical sessions, written examinations and a new venture plan.
 

The taught component covers two academic semesters, each covering four core modules. 

During Stage One, you will attend lectures, practical classes and tutorials coupled with directed reading and other assignments.
 

Following this, in Stage Two, you will carry out a new venture plan. The aim of the new venture plan is to integrate and apply core course concepts, skills and techniques holistically, experientially and in a self-guiding context in order to construct and present a complete plan for a new business venture.
 

The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed prior to the 2022/23 academic year. The final modules will be published by September 2022.

You will undertake four core modules in each semester, each worth 15 credits. These modules provide you with a thorough grounding in the theory and skills needed to become an effective entrepreneur.
 

Following successful completion of the taught phase, you will undertake a New Venture Plan. This consists of both group and individual components and allows you to demonstrate the theories and techniques developed in the taught phase.

This is a conversion course. Conversion courses allow you to study a subject unrelated to your undergraduate degree or current career, and support you with a change of career path. No prior knowledge or degree in the subject is required.
 

Entry requirements will normally consist of a minimum of a 2:1 (GPA 3.0/4.0) at undergraduate level from a recognised institution. Relevant work experience may also be taken into account in conjunction with an academic qualification. Non-graduates with significant work experience may also be considered.
 

English language requirements: IELTS with an overall score of 6.5 with a minimum of 5.5 in each subskill, or an equivalent English language qualification.
