Introduction

Benefit from a broad, analytical and integrated introduction to business and management, with our Entrepreneurship MBA. Face real-world challenges and experience practical, hands-on learning throughout. You want the skills to not only successfully manage a business for your employer, but also the skills needed to go out on your own. You require the skillset used by entrepreneurs to develop their own ideas and create their own organisational structure – as well as to manage and administer it. The Entrepreneurship MBA at ARU is a broad analytical study of business, with a focus on entrepreneurship. It will give you a comprehensive awareness of organisational issues and the ability to evaluate the potential outcomes of complicated or problematic situations, in a variety of contexts.

With a keen interest in business, you’ll recognise the practices of entrepreneurship – play, empathy, creation, experimentation and reflection. You can relate your experiences to the field of entrepreneurship to build a successful organisation. Study with us in Cambridge, and gain an understanding of the cultural, political and social contexts that organisations operate within. Discover how economic forces affect and influence organisational practices, and engage in several exercises designed to develop your ability to practice reflection in an entrepreneurial context. Examine the nature of reflective learning, noting its evolution, and analyse several reflective frameworks – plus assess your entrepreneurial character. Explore the fields of management and strategy, noting how strategic analysis and formulation contribute to an organisation’s performance. Study the financial element in decision making and the techniques that may be used to assist informed management decisions. As a postgraduate student at ARU, you’ll learn skills which will lead to you being able to design, test and deliver products and services that customers want.

How you'll be assessed

We place a strong emphasis on practical and professional skills. You’ll be assessed on work-based assignments, research projects, syndicate work and group presentations.
