This exciting master’s course aims to futureproof your career by equipping you with the necessary knowledge, skills and techniques to solve current and future real-world problems. While the challenges may change over time, the problem solving processes we teach will remain as relevant as ever.
 

Gaining practice and experience while you study, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the nature of entrepreneurialism, the role of entrepreneurs in the economy and the operating models of entrepreneurial businesses. You’ll learn how to apply a range of different theories, creative and innovative approaches, tools and techniques and, at the same time, develop the skills required to solve business dilemmas, think up and implement solutions, making the most appropriate business decisions.
 

The MSc Enterprise and Innovation will equip you with a broad knowledge of enterprise, innovation, business planning and marketing, ready to be a problem solver, wealth creator, creative thinker and idea generator on graduation. With the confidence to generate, implement and manage new ideas, even in changing or uncertain contexts, you’ll be a valuable asset to any type of organisation in the public, private or not-for-profit sector.
 

You may choose to pursue a career innovating in-house as an intrapreneur or as a business consultant identifying and fixing problems, supporting change management, new product development or research and development. Alternatively, by the time you leave, you may already have an investable business plan and be ready to set out as an entrepreneur yourself. You’ll also be ideally placed to pursue further postgraduate studies at MPhil or PhD level.
