Social Entrepreneurship The University of Wales Trinity Saint David

Overview

Course Overview

The Master of Business Administration (Online) - Social Entrepreneurship program at The University of Wales Trinity Saint David has been designed as a response to the need for new forms of organisations which align with the changing business landscape where the focus is on social and environmental purpose. The programme engages students in critical thinking about the social challenges faced by communities,  consequences of actions, and how business can be adapted to contribute to social, community and regional futures.

Rather than embedding social entrepreneurship within an otherwise conventional business programme, the approach has been to immerse students in a community focused, social, and ethical approach to business within each module from the outset.

The programme will connect you with key arguments and issues facing organisations and with your online tutors you will engage with other MBA students across the world to address key challenges. You will be learning with other people in different locations and in different contexts, giving you an opportunity to experience a range of different approaches, practices and perspectives on sustainability in Business.
