This program addresses key entrepreneurial challenges and topics that are priorities for businesses, governments, policymakers, researchers, educators, and communities worldwide.
Offered by Essex Business School at our Southend Campus, this course benefits from Essex's vibrant entrepreneurial environment—one of the UK's most dynamic regions for business. With more startups than any other UK county, including some based on our campus, our location fosters a culture of innovation supported by global connections and academic excellence.

Through guest lectures, you'll learn from industry experts and policymakers who provide real-world insights to help you navigate the obstacles entrepreneurs and small businesses face today.
