Entrepreneurial skills are essential for career success – whether in small and medium-sized enterprises, your own business or on project-based venture teams in large companies.

This MSc combines academic knowledge with practical skills. You’ll learn to design, manage and grow new ventures in a challenging business world. You’ll gain the skills needed to make reasoned and creative contributions to problem-solving in dynamic, complex and uncertain entrepreneurial contexts.

You’ll also increase your awareness of ethics and responsible business practices. You’ll be able to reflect on ethical and moral issues in entrepreneurship and innovation.

You’ll learn from and network with visiting speakers. These include entrepreneurs running successful and innovative social and commercial enterprises. You’ll also benefit from our close collaboration with the Sussex Innovation Centre, NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator and local organisations that offer strategic advice for entrepreneurs, start-ups and innovative growing companies.

On this MSc, you’ll gain knowledge on general management theories with a particular focus on entrepreneurship and innovation. When you graduate, you’ll be well prepared to launch or manage your own venture. 

A range of career options will be open to you, including:

• an entrepreneurial position in an international organisation
• entrepreneurial ventures in the public/private/third sector (for example universities and research institutes)
