The MSc Entrepreneurial Innovation & Technology is a highly practical programme that will help budding entrepreneurs conceive and crystallise their ideas about their venture start-up or new business project.
You'll learn how to combine theoretical knowledge with a special focus on developing the applied skills required to engage successfully in entrepreneurial activity.
The focus of this programme is the Virtual Incubator Project, during which you will work in groups to take your business idea to the next level. You will develop an innovative business opportunity and pitch to a panel of investors from the UK ecosystem.
By the end of the programme, you'll possess both the mindset and skills to 'think and act entrepreneurially'. You'll have the opportunity to engage with a dynamic innovation ecosystem through business competitions, guest lectures, knowledge exchange projects and field visits.
What you'll study
The MSc Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Technology attracts entrepreneurs who may have launched their venture and are seeking some formal training on key topics like entrepreneurial finance or entrepreneurial mindset and leadership. The programme is also suitable for graduates from any discipline who have a business idea and are aiming to launch their start-up shortly. This intense programme introduces you to the approaches and techniques needed to take a business idea, and create a new venture.
Innovation and disruptive technologies are creating new market opportunities. This course will develop your abilities to ‘read what is happening in the market place and to then place your product or service offering in a strategically novel position for their new venture to be a success. The capstone, Virtual Incubator Project will help you develop your business plan.
Classes in semester 1 cover key elements of entrepreneurship and are shared with students on the MSc Social Innovation & Entrepreneurship. In semesters 2 and 3 the MSc Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Technology will follow a much more ‘hands-on practical route through the Virtual Incubator Project. It's possible to swap between programmes at the start of semester 2, based on your preferences and discussions with tutors.
