The imperative for business development and innovation in challenging times is the key to business growth and economic recovery. The overall aim of the Business Development and Innovation degree offered at Ulster University, therefore, is to provide an academically challenging, intellectually stimulating programme of study that educates, develops and enhances the professional competence of participants. In short, a course with a strong theoretical underpinning and relevant practical application.
Within this broad aim, the specific objectives of the course are to:
- Provide an advanced study of business and management with particular reference to business development and innovation;
- Prepare and/or develop students for a career in business development and innovation by facilitating the development of enhanced transferable skills at a professional or equivalent level, or as preparation for research or further study in the area;
- Develop students’ ability to apply knowledge and critical understanding of business development and innovation to complex issues, both systematically and creatively, to improve organisations and business practice;
- Enhance students’ lifelong learning skills and personal development in order to work with self-direction and originality and to contribute to business and society at large.
Career options
The course provides the foundation for opportunities in a wide range of careers, across a number of business areas. These include, for example, business development, strategy, innovation, business analysis, research, and consultancy.
