Why choose this course

Entrepreneurship and innovation management are essential for growth strategies in a world faced by technological disruption and expansion. This programme will prepare you for these challenges and opportunities – whether your future career is in a large organisation, an emerging-growth company, or as part of a start-up.

We combine an academic foundation with practical experience to reinforce your skills. This includes the MSc Corporate Challenge which supports digital marketing activity for SMEs as well as the product-market research project which supports start-ups with product development and builds on synergies with the SETSquared Partnership which is typically ranked as one of the top university business incubators worldwide by UBI Global.

You can also tailor your learning through a range of optional modules, including modules in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, and a module to develop an original business idea with mentoring through SET-Squared Surrey. For the final project, students can choose either a consulting project with an existing company or a business plan based on original business idea while benefiting from mentoring to help you design your future career path.
