Entrepreneurship and innovation are terms that go hand in hand as entrepreneurs frequently innovate in order to achieve economic prosperity, regional growth and social transformation.MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation uses innovative and interactive teaching, such as group working and applied projects, to develop your practical business knowledge and employability skills. We hone your entrepreneurial spirit, so you can have the capabilities and confidence to launch your own venture, manage your family business or introduce innovative ideas to improve performance at existing organisations.This course explores the entrepreneurial issues and challenges high on the agendas of businesses, governments, policy-makers, researchers, educators and wider communities across the world.This course is delivered by Essex Business School at our Southend Campus. Essex is one of the most entrepreneurial places in the UK and an exciting place to do business. We have more start-up businesses than any other county in the UK, some based right here on our campus. This entrepreneurial spirit, global community and academic expertise come together to inspire innovative thinking.Guest lectures give you access to practitioners and policy makers, who share real-world experiences to prepare you to tackle the challenges facing entrepreneurs and SMEs today. Instead of a dissertation, you can opt to complete a comprehensive business plan for your new venture or an existing business, giving you the opportunity to gain valuable feedback on your ideas from academics and industry practitioners.
