Loughborough's MSc Entrepreneurship, Finance and Innovation programme analyses the entrepreneur, the innovation process and the role of financial support when creating and sustaining new start-ups, supporting growth and affecting innovation.
By studying the master's in Entrepreneurship, Finance and Innovation, students will have the opportunity to explore and reflect on the skills needed for success and the role of old and new financing models in business. Students will learn basic financial calculations, and will be taught how to analyse the financial status of a company and prepare a pitch to an investor. Similarly, they will develop knowledge of accounting and will develop the commercial skills required to monitor and evaluate company performance, and to understand the financial consequences of business decisions, particularly for relatively small and young firms.
To put the new skills and experiences students have gained from their master's in entrepreneurship into practice, they will spend the duration of a module with a multi-talented group of students to work on a brief from a real company looking to solve a real social or business problem. The Collaborative Project module is the first of its kind to be organised across an entire institution, meaning learning will be enhanced by students across every discipline.
Some of the research interests in the Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship feed directly into the MSc Entrepreneurship, Finance and Innovation curriculum, such as family businesses, venture capital and private equity, digital entrepreneurial activity, social network analysis, social entrepreneurship, governance and executive compensation, and crowdfunding.
