Although there are now many different entrepreneurial courses on the market that offer enterprise training, at postgraduate level many of these are MBA based and the vast majority of these just concentrate purely on the theoretical aspects.

The MSc Enterprise offers a unique opportunity for students from a wide range of backgrounds and complements the research MEnt degree. The MSc Enterprise focuses on enterprise from the perspective of developing the enterprising individual, the process of developing ideas and how students can contribute more effectively to any organisation. The course delivers business awareness to those without prior experience in this area, to facilitate improved understanding of the professional systems in which they will be working in the future.
