What is enterprise development?

Study our innovative MSc Business Enterprise Development degree at Aston University to give yourself the best start to learning about how to develop, sustain and grow a business. It has been adapted from the globally renowned ‘Team Academy’ model of entrepreneurship from Finland and built on the following principles:

Develop your entrepreneurial capacity and mindset through learning by doing
Experience the development of a real organisation that you own with a team of others
Determine your own learning focus and needs, supported by team coaches who are there to support you to develop your competence and capability to grow a business.

This programme puts application and experience at its core. You will develop your entrepreneurial know-how as well as crucial teamwork and leadership skills by starting and running an organisation as part of a group of like-minded Team Entrepreneurs (students).

All our assessments involve practical business activities, such as pitching your business idea, creating a business plan as well as a market research project. You’ll develop vital entrepreneurial competencies, gain valuable, first-hand business experience as well as receive feedback and support with your development.

If you enjoy the idea of generating your own learning experiences as and when you need them (just-in-time learning) rather than traditional methods of learning, then this masters course could be for you. Instead of attending lectures, you will be coached as a team with your peers to develop your ideas, generate business practice and share your learning.
