Four-year integrated Master's Innovation Programmes
A four year Master’s course for undergraduates where time is split between your main subject and the study and practice of Innovation.
Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Bristol
I loved Innovation from day one, you knew the lecturers on a first-name basis and built fun, respectful relationships between them and your peers. I was always inspired by the lecturer's experience as well as the people I sat next to. Innovation has set us apart from the thousands graduating every year. I'm now running a product design startup and I couldn't have done it without the help and support I received at the Centre.
Whether you want to set up a start up business, become an innovation consultant or an intrepreneur in a multinational corporation, this course teaches you the skills and confidence to perform under pressure. I now work as a Venture Associate in digital innovation within Shell's global commercial team and I'd be drowning without the innovation training I learned at the Centre!
