The M.Sc. in programme at Durham University has been developed to help entrepreneurial thinkers turn ideas into action. It could be launching your own idea, developing something in partnership, or investing in new ventures Ð or perhaps you want to find fresh ways to foster and harness entrepreneurial thinking in a business context. Whatever your aims, youÕll learn in a stimulating and enjoyable environment, guided by experienced academics.

The programme consists of a set of core and elective modules, culminating in a practice- based business project or a research-based dissertation.

Our strong international connections and activities aim at providing you with an inside perspective of global business. During the International Study Tour elective, we take a group of students to a European destination, typically Geneva for a week. This self-funded competitive activity has given our students the opportunity not only to visit a series of prestigious global businesses but also to analyse them using a structured learning approach.Ê

As such this activity provides an excellent opportunity to be exposed to the challenges of global business, make new contacts, to stand out in the competitive jobs market, while having fun. Our expanding global network of University and business partners also gives you the opportunity to undertake part or all of your dissertation or business abroad.Ê

Whatever your specialist interests, youÕll find our careers team is one of the most useful resources to support you on your way to your target career. Now more than ever, itÕs the skills youÕre able to demonstrate in addition to your academic abilities that will make you shine in a fiercely competitive jobs market.

ThatÕs why our facilities and services are designed to complement your course and help you develop essential professional and practical skills Ð from personal resilience and self-awareness to CV writing and interview techniques.
