Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Be a changemaker. This master’s programme prepares you to take the lead in transforming innovative ideas into impact. You will develop an entrepreneurial mindset, paired with the analytical and digital skills to spot opportunities, assess and scale them, and create sustainable value. The programme emphasises innovation and entrepreneurship as a process and not just an outcome. You will gain hands-on experience with analytical tools for decision making, including Python and other tools for data analysis, financial modelling software, and customer analytics platforms. You will build market insight through customer discovery, data analytics and selected AI tools (used responsibly with good data governance).
The programme covers entrepreneurial finance in depth: from bootstrapping and angel investment to venture capital, corporate venture capital, and growth financing strategies. You will learn how innovation ecosystems work, including accelerators, incubators, and corporate venturing programmes. Regardless of the route, you'll learn to plan and execute from idea to implementation across the entire entrepreneurial spectrum.
You will learn to:
- design, test, and refine business models, and build financial plans for different growth paths
- identify and assess opportunities using market analysis, customer insight, and financing trends
- prototype and experiment, analyse results, and adapt quickly to feedback and risk
- use data and AI for market and product insight, ethically and with solid data governance
- pitch clearly, negotiate and manage stakeholders, and build the right team and partnerships
