The MSc in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management is offered over 12 months full-time and combines academic rigour and practical relevance.

In the current global economic environment, there is a pressing need for students to learn about how to manage in dynamic, uncertain, rapidly changing and entrepreneurial environments. The development and introduction of new technologies, systems and services can produce new economic opportunities. Managing successful outcomes to create, deliver and capture value from innovation has become a complex process, requiring broad-based skills and knowledge. This programme addresses these issues.

There is a careful balance between teaching and learning, individual study and group work. Case study methodology and class-based discussions are used to strengthen conceptual, analytical and problem-solving skills and there are regular seminars by external expert speakers.

Imperial College has acknowledged global excellence in both Innovation and Entrepreneurship (the MSc Management has been ranked seventh globally for Entrepreneurship and the MBA has also been ranked sixth globally for Entrepreneurship by the Financial Times).

Launching and running a business requires specialist skills, expert knowledge and smart methods. We can help you develop them. And we can support you toward business success – either as an individual or as a member of an organisation.

Capitalising on Keele Business School’s co-location with the Smart Innovation Hub, you’ll engage not only with leading academics but with start-ups and entrepreneurs to gain a thorough grounding in current theories and concepts of enterprise and innovation, while watching entrepreneurs in action.

Thanks to our involvement in the EU-funded Keele Research and Innovation Support Programme (KRISP), you’ll be able to experience the challenges business managers face first hand, giving you a unique insight into broader business operations and the technological, legal, financial, ethical and economic constraints in developing new products, processes or services. To date, we’ve helped over 200 small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire.

Team building, group work, research, presentations and projects will help you develop vital management skills, such as business planning, decision-making, problem-solving, communication, delegation and time management.

A course highlight is the Creative and Personal Development study trip, a week-long residential team building exercise where you’ll disconnect from the outside world and work in teams to solve a real business issue. The event culminates with a dinner hosted, planned and served by you, after which you’ll present your findings and receive feedback from the businesses you’ve worked with.

Your final project gives you another opportunity to directly transfer your learning to the workplace by researching a current management topic, responding to a specific business issue or undertaking a ‘live’ work-based project.

Our goal is to get you ‘work ready plus’ by the time you graduate – ready to work industries that may not yet exist and with technology not yet invented, in other words, able to adapt and thrive in an uncertain tomorrow.
