MSc Entrepreneurship
& Financing
To be successful today, entrepreneurs have to know how to use the entire range of traditional and novel forms of financing.
About the programme
In ever more competitive global markets, organisations that depend solely upon re-investing profits and loan finance will be condemned to slow growth.
Our faculty members use a variety of teaching methods including lectures and seminars, case studies, entrepreneurship and business scenarios, with distinguished visiting speakers.
The Entrepreneurship Project is a live case study, where students replicate a financial consultancy intervention with local firms. You will also work with leading academics and industry experts in the Henley Centre for
Entrepreneurship and the ICMA Centre.
