Course Overview

The MSc in Entrepreneurship at the London School of International Business and Management (LSIBM) is a research-informed Master's for serious UK founders, family-business successors and senior operators taking on venture responsibility. Sitting in the Business & Management faculty (with an Entrepreneurship & Executive Studies cross-listing), this MSc combines rigorous research on the UK founder journey with a working founder-brief capstone under the supervision of an active operator or investor.

Over one year full-time (or two years part-time via online/distance routes) you will study venture design, growth, fundraising, governance and produce a substantial founder-brief or research-standard dissertation. The MSc in Entrepreneurship is delivered on-campus in central London, fully online with UK/APAC cohort calls, or by distance learning.
