Programme overview

To launch a successful technology career you will need more than just technical skills, you will need to understand your users and your business. Come to the multi-award-winning home of innovative, design-led, creative business education and transform your prospects.

The MSc Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship will teach you how to apply your existing undergraduate degree knowledge whilst developing your design skills and commercial understanding, including:

• Starting up your career and ideas in a professional supported environment
• Undertaking applied commercial projects in collaborative teams
• Learning human-centred techniques for designing and developing ideas of real value

We welcome students from any technology-based discipline who are thinking about building a career either in technology-focused organisations or start-ups.

This programme shares much of its teaching with our other MSc and MA Innovation and Entrepreneurship programmes but focuses specifically on the development and deployment of technology to create new value.

This course will develop the high-level skills and critical competencies needed for successful organisational innovation and entrepreneurship, through a largely practice-orientated educational approach based on collaborative teamwork across disciplines and cultures.

During the programme you get opportunities to work alongside technology businesses to develop a deep understanding of their opportunities and challenges.

Careers

“Workers with design skills are 47% more productive in their jobs and whilst already contributing £209bn to the UK economy and that value is growing at a faster rate than the rest of the economy.” (Design Council, 2018)

You may create your own entrepreneurial venture or join an existing one. Whatever you choose, you will be able to hit the ground running.

You will graduate with a portfolio of work that shows what you can do, you may have an emergent venture, and you will have a network of contacts to draw on whether you are starting-up or seeking innovative roles. International students graduating from the pre-existing MSc Innovation and Entrepreneurship programme have been successful in exploring their ideas in the UK after graduation. This programme is new for 2022/2023.
