Licence (avec mention) en Entrepreneuriat et Business

In today's challenging business world, organisations of all sizes need people who can demonstrate an entrepreneurial mindset with creativity and innovation beyond everyday business and management practices. This course will help you develop these skills.

You'll learn to:

• understand how to spot opportunities
• create value through effective business model design
• develop new products and services and bring them to market
• foster creativity and manage innovation within an organisation

If you have a new business idea that you're passionate about, this course will help you bring it to life in a supported environment. You'll be able to develop your idea through our practical modules, and you'll get lots of support from our dedicated start-up team.

But you don't need a business idea to do this course. Many of our graduates apply their skills in managing innovation, new products and growth in an existing business. Our curriculum supports you equally, whether you wish to run your own business or want to apply your knowledge and skills in an existing organisation.
