Course summary

The MSc Entrepreneurial Innovation & Technology is a highly practical programme that will help budding entrepreneurs conceive and crystallise their ideas about their venture start-up or new business project. You will learn how to combine theoretical knowledge with a special focus on developing the applied skills required to engage successfully in entrepreneurial activity. The focus of this programme is the Virtual Incubator Project, during which you will work in groups to take your business idea to the next level. You will develop an innovative business opportunity and pitch to a panel of investors from the UK ecosystem. By the end of the programme you will possess both the mind-set and skills to 'think and act entrepreneurially'. You will have the opportunity to engage with a dynamic innovation ecosystem through business competitions, guest lectures, knowledge exchange projects and field visits. Classes in semester 1 cover key elements of entrepreneurship. In semesters 2 and 3 you will follow a much more ‘hands-on’ practical route through the Virtual Incubator Project.
