The Master of Studies (MSt) in Social Innovation is a two-year, part-time, research-based programme including online delivery and four one-week long residentials in Cambridge.

Social innovation is becoming central to the ambitions of the corporate and public sectors, as well as the social sector, NGOs and entrepreneurs. Therefore, the MSt programme examines both social innovation within the context of these sectors, and the urgent need for intersectional collaboration to tackle and develop novel solutions to the deep-rooted ‘wicked problems’ the globe faces.

The programme addresses the social, cultural, economic, and environmental challenges and opportunities of social innovation by offering its students an open environment for critical dialogue and engagement with workshops, case studies, subject experts, and practitioners. This educational space allows for the discussion of key concepts, theories, frameworks, and emerging ideas for creating, developing, and enabling social innovation around the world. It forms a key strategy to engage with individuals and organisations working specifically to develop socially innovative solutions in both high-income and low income countries. In recognition of the fact that social innovation occurs across all sectors, the MSt is aimed at entrepreneurs and middle and senior level leaders in NGOs, public bodies and the private sector.
