Innovation and Entrepreneurship

This Innovation and Entrepreneurship MSc program from University of Bristol comprises a group of academic staff with research interests in two related areas: design innovation and entrepreneurship, spanning both commercial and social sectors. This includes research wholly contained within one of these disciplines or bridging both subjects.

The profile of our team, most of whom are both practitioners and scholars, helps to ensure continual collaboration between academic and non-academic applied settings. We, therefore, welcome and encourage students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Students may join directly from university studies or be experienced professionals, for example, established entrepreneurs or designers.

Career opportunities:

Graduates of the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship have moved into a variety of roles in the profit and not-for-profit sectors. Current students are planning on entrepreneurial careers, such as developing new business startups or in large businesses as intrapreneurs. Research students may also choose to develop a career in academia.
