Ground-breaking technology, lifesaving pharmaceuticals and world-changing organisations only came to life because of persistent and openminded people. Like James Dyson who developed over 5000 prototypes before perfecting the Dyson vacuum cleaner, entrepreneurs continually learn and improve. This new course will give you the fundamental knowledge, skills, and mindset for developing concepts and driving your projects to success. It will fully prepare you for creating an innovative unit within an organisation or a venture of your own.
■■ Highly practical course that links innovation
This unique Masters programme provides forward-thinking graduates with a powerful skill set that combines the essentials of business and entrepreneurship with an advanced understanding of management theory and practice. We will teach you how to identify, commercialise and protect enterprising ideas and work with you to refine your own ideas as business opportunities.

You will be working at the cutting edge of developments in innovation with opportunities to meet and network with and learn from entrepreneurs and business leaders.
