Master of Science - Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Enterprise Development

On this exciting Master’s programme, students will experience first-hand what it’s like to innovate, solving real-life problems and coming up with smart solutions. Inspired by serial entrepreneurs and the academic experts, students will cultivate their entrepreneurial mindset, improving their ability to identify viable business opportunities – whether they launch their own enterprise or support others to do so. On this course, students' journey begins in the pre-start-up phase, with the formation of ideas on a possible business venture, right through to potentially pitching their plan to prospective investors or raising money via crowdfunding campaigns. They will be mentored and coached throughout, developing the personal and professional skills needed to envision new products or services capable of attracting investment, then guide them to completion. Practical in approach, students will learn through experience both as an individual and part of a team, participating in educational games, workshops, international and local business challenges and project-based assessments. These not only develop their awareness to detect business opportunities, but also test their capacity to generate ideas and their resolve to progress projects – often in difficult and changing circumstances. Past students have gone on to create successful ventures ranging from a gym for women and a barber franchise, to a VR company, molecular cocktail company, an upmarket bar saloon and organic farm.
