Innovation and Entrepreneurship Study Guide 2026/27

What you can study

At the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, we equip the next generation of changemakers with the skills, mindset, and experience to turn challenges into opportunities. Blending design thinking, creative practice, and entrepreneurial insight, our programmes prepare students to tackle complex problems.

The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship offers the following units:

• Those starting with 'INOV'. These are suitable for students majoring in Innovation, or a related field, at their home university. These units take place on the new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus.
• Those starting with 'UNIV'. These are very popular choices with Bristol and Study Abroad students, and are suitable for all majors.

Pre-requisites

Units starting with 'UNIV' involve no pre-requisites and can be taken by students studying all subjects. Units starting with 'INOV' are designed for Innovation students and are suitable for those studying this, or a similar field, at their home university. Requests for units staring 'INOV' are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure students have the required academic background in the subject matter.

Important update about class location

The University's Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus opens in September 2026. The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will be based in this location, and all units starting with the code 'INOV' will be delivered from there. The Timetabling Team advises students allow for a 1 hour gap between classes on Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus and the main Clifton Campus. 2026/27 class timetables will be released in September 2026. Students may need to change their units should they choose classes held across both campuses and later find that their combination will not allow for a reasonable travel time.
