MSc Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Our degree is delivered through a dynamic series of hands-on units, meticulously designed to build your toolkit for leading change within major organisations. The programme is structured across three distinct phases, with assessment based entirely on real-world individual and group coursework, eliminating traditional exams.

Term 1: Becoming a corporate innovator.

The first term focuses on mastering the core skills of innovation within a corporate context. We will teach you how to use human-centred design to identify new market opportunities for established firms, conduct research to build a robust business case, and become a world-class innovator within a large, complex organisation.

Term 2: Applying your skills in business.

In the second teaching block, you will apply your learning in two high-impact, real-world business scenarios:

• Act as a management consultant, working for a real-world industry partner to solve a live commercial brief.
• Become a founder, building a compelling proposal for a new internal venture or spin-out with your team.

Summer: Launch your venture.

Your final summer project is the culmination of your learning. You will consolidate your skills to develop and present a new product, service, or innovative venture ready for its next steps into the business world.
