Course details
The development of entrepreneurs can have a major impact on global economies. The MA in Global Entrepreneurship has been specifically designed to assist the development of existing or potential entrepreneurs. The aim of the MA in Global Entrepreneurship is to equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience to start and maintain their own, unique and globally competitive business and/or project and whilst doing that to obtain a Masters degree. Unlike other entrepreneurship qualifications, the MA in Global Entrepreneurship goes beyond providing training in business start-ups but also exposes students to the rigours of entrepreneurial sustainability and provides graduates of this course with the necessary skillset to negate the common pitfalls of entrepreneurial failure.
Over their period of study, students will engage in, and be expected to contribute to lively debate and discussion across a broad spectrum of modules pertaining to your entrepreneurial development, culminating in a capstone research dissertation on your specialist subject.
During the first phase of study, students will be exposed to analysing and discovering ways to improve their own entrepreneurial potential. This is followed by understanding the diverse international world, how to manage entrepreneurial activity in such a world, and how to utilise appropriate techniques to identify the right ideas and opportunities.
In phase two, the focus will be on functional management principles and how these are related to improving entrepreneurial businesses and/or projects.
In the last phase, students will need to conduct thorough research and compile an integrated business plan for the new business or project. This business plan will meet the need of a Masters level dissertation.
The delivery of this programme will occur in four ways namely direct face-to-face sessions; indirect face-to-face sessions, through collaborative technologies; on-line delivery (blended learning) comprising of on-line discussion forums, web conferencing, journal / paper reviews and reading materials; and personal tutorials to suit the requirements of the students where applicable.
