About Innovation and Entrepreneurship, MSc - at Lancaster University

Innovation and entrepreneurship have always lain at the heart of societal change and transformation by fulfilling two important functions:

  • spotting and exploring opportunities and
  • exploiting these through the development and distribution of new products and services.

Today’s global challenges go far beyond mere economic development needs but are multi-faceted and complex, relating to different societal issues such as inequality, poverty, pollution, and climate change. Thus, innovation and entrepreneurship are increasingly seen as key means to solve the grand challenges the world is facing. Combining innovation and entrepreneurship with sustainability competencies presents an exciting opportunity to rethink, redesign and rebuild a responsible future for business practice. The MSc in Innovation and Entrepreneurship provides students with the necessary skills to become successful and responsible innovators and entrepreneurs and to make a valuable contribution to global sustainability.

We offer the ideal environment for aspiring innovators and entrepreneurs, emphasising theoretical rigour and practical experience. We hold a prestigious Small Business Charter award and are renowned for our knowledge exchange and business engagement activities.

We believe in an experiential approach to teaching and learning. Modules such as Innovation Practice Lab, therefore, build on the assumption that learning and skill development come from doing. This programme provides a real opportunity to develop a new business idea with support from our enterprise centre and mentoring and advice from our 80+ Entrepreneurs in Residence. Thus, you will benefit from academic excellence, broad business networks and cutting-edge theory and models delivered by leading professors.
