Postgraduate Programmes

MA in Entrepreneurial Management 

The programme recognises the existence of and necessity for entrepreneurial capabilities in all organisations—public, private and social. The focus is on Entrepreneurial Management as a phenomenon that generates economic renewal through new products and services—from start-up businesses through to international corporations attempting to adapt their internal capabilities more quickly within a more competitive and dynamic environment.

The programme exposes the student to the contemporary and growing sources of entrepreneurial knowledge and research. The strong base of theoretical and conceptual frameworks is built on by application and interface with entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial businesses during the learning process through seminars, field and research based activities.

The Dissertation provides another major opportunity to extend the interest of the individual student by focusing on one of the many exciting avenues of entrepreneurial development. The programmes are led by staff who have both academic and practical experience of entrepreneurship ensuring the vital link between theory and practice. They also have a strong international aspect in terms of background and experience ensuring that the international dimension, which is central to the EBSL philosophy and community, becomes an integral part of the learning activities.

This is reinforced by a core module called "Business in its Linguistic and Cultural Environment"; here students examine the relationship between culture and economic activity in a number of societies.

The aim is to develop a manager who understands the international environment, who recognises the context of change within which all organisations have to operate, and who can operate comfortably in a managerial capacity in a range of organisational contexts.

The MA in Entrepreneurial Management has seven core modules, the Dissertation, and one elective.
