Students can take control of their future and enjoy the greater freedom and flexibility that developing their own business can bring. LBU will feed their entrepreneurial spirit and develop their management skills so they can create, establish and lead their own venture. The MSc Entrepreneurship and Business Development course will give students the knowledge and confidence to implement new strategies within an established company to drive change, encourage innovation and help the business flourish.
As well as gaining a broad overview of business, students will also explore their individual management style and develop critical-thinking patterns and problem solving and decision-making techniques to share and reflect upon with their peers. Working closely with industry professionals, learners will be encouraged to experiment with new ideas and will learn to identify opportunities and risks in order to develop a viable business venture or project.
Studying professional interactions, students will learn that strong communication and relationship development skills coupled with a solid emotional intelligence base are key to managing and sustaining complex business partnerships. They'll learn from a highly skilled and research-active teaching team who are experts in enterprise, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing and management. In addition to this, they'll work with a professional mentor - a business practitioner who can provide practical support and advice during their period of study.
With mentor guidance, learners will have the opportunity to work on a real-life enterprise or start-up project and implement solutions, make decisions and manage the process from start to finish. They'll also have access to LBU's Enterprise & Innovation Academy, that'll offer information, advice and guidance to give students the best possible grounding when taking their next step into a new business venture.
LBU is dedicated to supporting students' professional development - that's why they offer a guest lecture programme. Past speakers include the Director General for the National Museum of the Royal Navy, the Group Head of Organizational Effectiveness for BP, the Deputy Agent for the Bank of England and the Chair of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.
With enhanced knowledge and a vision of how to build a successful company, the MSc Entrepreneurship and Business Development graduates could launch and manage a new venture or offer expert advice to others as a business consultant. Alternatively, they could work within an existing organization and drive innovation, creativity and success. A wide variety of exciting and rewarding job roles will be open to students, including business development manager, business researcher, sales manager, operations manager and management consultant.
