Course summary
You'll learn how to set up your own new venture and then lead the start-up through those difficult few years of growth. You'll learn how to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills required to engage successfully in entrepreneurial activities, leading and managing teams and change. By the end of the programme, you’ll possess both the mindset and skills to think and act entrepreneurially. These sought-after skills have led to our graduates either starting their own business or securing jobs in companies seeking people with an entrepreneurial mindset. From the largest global corporations to more traditional public sector bodies, organisations are looking for such individuals. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with a dynamic innovation ecosystem through business competitions, guest lectures and field visits. The programme is designed for recent graduates who don't have a grounding in business and management. Previous participants came with a range of degrees including engineering, bioscience, English, law and music. The modules will equip you with the ability to take your business idea and launch a new venture, secure funding and then manage and lead your growing team.
