Entrepreneurship is about more than founding startups. Existing businesses need entrepreneurial thinkers too. So do non-profit social and environmental enterprises, and iwi and Pacific communities.
Building on Ōtepoti Dunedin’s unique entrepreneurial ecosystem, Entrepreneurship at Otago is designed to enable careers that involve developing novel solutions to important challenges facing the world.
Our programmes reflect the Otago Business School’s commitment to accelerating ventures that are for the good of people and the planet.
Why study Entrepreneurship?
Gain business skills. Grow your entrepreneurial behaviour. Nurture your can-do spirit and creative mindset. Be your own boss! Generate value and share it with the world. You can apply your entrepreneurial behaviour to start a business, make a small business large, or make an organisation of any size more productive.
The Master of Business in Entrepreneurship and Innovation will be awarded on successful completion of 180 points from one of the three options (Dissertation, Project or Coursework) outlined in the schedule below.
