MBA Master of Business Administration - Entrepreneurship

The MBA Master of Business Administration – Entrepreneurship (with Placement Year) at the University of East London is designed to build strong business leadership skills with a clear focus on enterprise and innovation. It combines core MBA subjects with specialist modules linked to entrepreneurship. During the taught stage, students study management theory and applied business practice. Core areas include strategy, finance for managers, marketing, operations, and leadership. These subjects provide a strong base for understanding how organisations make decisions and manage resources. Students continue academic reflection during the placement to link work activity with theory.

The placement year allows students to apply their learning in a professional setting. This year provides work experience in a business, start-up, or enterprise support organisation. The course combines academic study with a structured placement year. It supports students who aim to start a business or lead growth within existing organisations. The final stage includes a major project focused on an entrepreneurial or business issue. This project enables students to apply their research and analytical skills. Learning is supported through classroom teaching, online learning systems, and independent study. Assessment includes coursework, business reports, presentations, exams, group tasks, and applied projects
