International Entrepreneurship

Advertisement

This course will help you to develop the skills, knowledge and enterprise capabilities you need for international business start-ups and/or functional areas of international organisations. The work of our Business School research centres is all closely aligned with this course, especially the Centre for International Business (CIB). Over many years the CIB has established a wide range of relationships with entrepreneurs, locally (e.g. St. John's Innovation Centre), nationally and internationally. The Centre for Strategic Studies will also play an active part in supporting this course, with its extensive links with major enterprises such as CapGemini.

Assessment
Assessment is mainly through written assignments, reports, case studies, business simulations or portfolios, and presentations. They can be completed either as part of a group or on an individual basis.

Normally, entrants will be expected to hold a first degree from an internationally recognised university, which has a business or management component. Usually, this will be at a minimum of lower second class honours. Alternatively, entrants with significant management/ entrepreneurial experience will be considered. Candidates who do not possess any of these entry criteria, but can demonstrate appropriate relevant experience in a post of management or professional responsibility may be admitted if, in the opinion of the admissions tutor, they are capable of profiting from and contributing to the pathway. Requests for admission with AP (E)L will be managed via standard university procedures.
