MSc Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Our degree is delivered through a dynamic series of hands-on units, meticulously designed to build your toolkit. 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 an innovator.

The first term focuses on mastering the core skills of innovation that are in demand across every industry. You will learn to use human-centred design to find and create genuine value, conduct primary research to develop solutions to complex problems, and build the foundations to become a world-class innovator in any professional context.

Term 2: Applying your skills.

Apply your learning in two high-impact, real-world scenarios, tailored to ignite your career path:

• Act as a management consultant, working for a real-world industry partner to solve a live commercial brief.
• Become a founder, building a new team venture from the ground up to tackle a problem that truly inspires you.

Summer: Launch your venture.

Your final summer project is the powerful culmination of your learning. You will consolidate your skills to create and present a new product, service, or innovative venture, poised and ready for its next exciting steps.

You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in any discipline.

If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date.

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree.

We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing:

• six months paid or unpaid experience working in innovation, entrepreneurship, start-ups, design, creative/product management (experience can come from any industry)
• a relevant postgraduate qualification.
