It equips you with the comprehensive business knowledge and skills and innovative capabilities to find creative solutions to the real issues that face organisations. Taught in the context of real-world practice and designed in close collaboration with leading employers, the online MBA Entrepreneurship intensively develops the sought-after knowledge, skills and behaviours to successfully lead in an ethical, sustainable and transformational way.
A 100% online MBA Entrepreneurship designed for adult learners
The online MBA Entrepreneurship degree is ideally suited to busy working professionals and individuals with family commitments who don’t want to put their career ambitions on hold. The flexible programme design means that you can study part-time at times that suit you on mobile or desktop devices whilst continuing to work full-time. It is because the MBA Entrepreneurship is taught and delivered entirely online that you can study and complete it from anywhere in the world, with no need to attend on-campus classes at any time during your studies.
One of the key strengths of this innovative MBA is the cutting-edge online learning environment, where you will work collaboratively with fellow students and tutors in group activities and study groups. You will engage with peers on discussion groups and online forums and will be presented with opportunities to expand your professional network with online MBA students from across the globe. You will also be assigned a dedicated Keele Student Success Coordinator, who will support you from your enrolment all the way up to your graduation.
We put our students at the heart of everything we do and we believe that the high quality of the student experience we provide is exemplified by our consistent top 3 rankings for student satisfaction and course satisfaction in the National Student Survey, as well as in a number of other surveys and rankings including the Guardian rankings (2019) and the PTES survey (2019).
