Why study Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurial success is central for enhancing the economic opportunity of nations and organisations. Entrepreneurs create and exploit change, are innovative and have the ability to mobilise resources to create value by invention of, or improvement of existing products or services.

Our enterprise, innovation and entrepreneurship related courses are designed either for students either entering industry or setting up their own businesses.
Academic lectures are complemented by sessions lead by industry guests who offer advice from their own entrepreneurial stories, and from their current day-to-day experiences.
Assessment is designed to develop practical skills. For example, setting up a student-led business to provide seed-funding for other student ventures.
