MA Entrepreneurship

Whether you intend to start a new venture, run a creative organisation, or join a family business, an enterprising mindset is essential.

More than any other business discipline, entrepreneurialism is about having the right attitude and mindset. This cannot happen purely within a classroom environment – you need to get your ideas out there, fail early and often, and develop the grit and resilience needed to succeed.

This course provides vital training to enhance your enterprise acumen, so you can become an effective entrepreneur in your chosen field.

MA Entrepreneurship bridges the gap between academia and industry experience, giving you the platform to test out your ideas, collaborate with peers and mentors, and learn how to solve complex enterprise-related problems. The structure has been designed flexibly to enable you to specialise in one of three key areas of enterprise (subject to demand) by choosing electives that resonate with you – whether your interests are in family enterprises, new ventures or creative industries. 

Using a range of case studies, you’ll examine different business models – from start-ups to high growth organisations. This knowledge will help you to recognise the practical and ethical dimensions of enterprise, giving you the skills to develop effective solutions.

As an entrepreneur, you must always be ready to talk about your vision. This course will prepare you with the skills to successfully communicate your ideas and attract potential stakeholders and industry partners. You will also learn how to determine the managerial and resource priorities that enable enterprises to operate efficiently, sustainably and successfully.
