The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Our MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation addresses critical issues that are central to economic growth and social transformation. These are issues which are high on the agendas of business, governments, policy-makers, researchers, educators and wider communities of interest across the world, as the study of them has emerged as critical to our understanding of economic and social change.

MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation enables you to acquire the essential knowledge, vital contemporary skills and competencies, and critical awareness necessary for a rewarding career in a dynamic business environment. Our course is also relevant to careers in: government and other policy-making institutions; in non-governmental or community-based organisations; and for potential entrepreneurs creating, managing and sustaining their own enterprises.

A Masters course is an academically rigorous programme during which you explore your subject in depth, reaching a high level of specialist knowledge. You draw on knowledge and skills from your undergraduate study or your professional life to produce work of a high academic standard, informed by current thinking and debate.
A Masters course lasts for twelve months (full-time), starting in October, and consists of taught modules during your autumn and spring terms, and normally a research-based dissertation or other project-based work submitted in September. Your balance of modules and research varies according to the subject but, typically, your research counts for 60 credits and there are 120 credits of modules, varying from 10 to 40 credits each. (If you are from the EU, then our Masters courses are regarded as second-cycle qualifications under the Bologna Declaration and consist of 90 ECTS credits).
Please note that module information on our course finder provides a guide to course content and may be subject to review on an annual basis.
