Royal Holloway, University of London, MSc, Entrepreneurship (optional Year in Business)

This dynamic MSc course is designed to equip you with a specialist and in-depth understanding of entrepreneurship. The course draws upon the highest level of theory and practice in this field and builds on the extensive research and teaching expertise of academics within the School of Management.

Our units in specialist entrepreneurship subjects are designed specifically for their relevance to contemporary entrepreneurship research, policy and practice. Our course is further enriched by the knowledge and expertise shared by our visiting speakers which include entrepreneurs running successful and in some cases highly innovative SMEs and large corporate organizations.

We aim to provide you with some of the key skills and knowledge required to develop your own projects, whether it be starting a new organization or developing an entrepreneurial project within an existing organization, in the public, private or voluntary sectors.

Key features of the Year in Business option

• When applying to MSc Entrepreneurship students have the option to choose either the one year Masters programme, or the two year programme which includes a placement in business in the second year.
• The duration of the placement will be around 9 months and international students will receive a visa to cover the duration of the programme.
• Royal Holloway provides support from both the School of Management and the Careers Service to help students to find a suitable placement, although placements cannot be guaranteed.

Although the responsibility for finding a placement is ultimately yours, our Careers Team will help you identify suitable opportunities from a large database of companies, make applications and prepare for interviews. Fairs are organised and several companies visit to offer placements, and we regularly post offers in our Facebook group.
